Nestled in one of the most stunning locations on Earth, The Killarney Park Hotel sits with Killarney National Park right at its doorstep—a UNESCO biosphere reserve. The hotel is surrounded by a landscape of rugged mountains, glacial lakes, and ancient forests that attract visitors from around the globe. However, Killarney National Park offers more than just awe-inspiring scenery; it is a vital sanctuary of unique ecosystems and irreplaceable biodiversity.

This unique position brings with it a profound sense of responsibility to protect and preserve the environment.

The hotel’s mission is to create an ethical culture of regenerative tourism, where they are not just limiting the potential negative impacts of their business but actually making things better for people and the planet. Their work every day to delight guests also contributes to improving biodiversity, supporting local entrepreneurs, and championing community initiatives. They are committed to offering an enhanced luxury experience that delivers positive environmental, social, and economic impacts to local communities, while prioritising protection of the planet for the next generation.
