The
700-acre grounds of the Kildare Hotel & Country Club are nestled amid

strong and clear. A mere 17 miles from Dublin and 45 minutes from Dublin's
International Airport, this magnificent 5 Star Hotel has already been acclaimed
as one of the finest in the world. The Tower Room and Arnold Palmer Room are available for meetings and private dining, where work can happily be combined with play due to the extensive array of leisure facilities, which are available. The Byerley Turk Restaurant offers a superb standard of cuisine, with wine list to match, while The Legend's Restaurant in the golf club, though no less satisfying to the palate, is ideal for more informal occasions. Elegance and high standards of comfort and service combined with lots of leisure activities, makes the Kildare Hotel & Country Club the most rewarding and relaxing place to stay.
The Country Club, known to its members as the K Club, centres around the Arnold Palmer designed golf course and is destined to become one of the world's great parkland courses, if indeed it is not already so. In addition to the aforementioned facilities available at the K Club, the estate is ideal for the fisherman. A privately owned one-mile stretch of the River Liffey where salmon and trout abound, is truly a fishing paradise.
