Food and drink

The Park Hotel Kenmare prides itself on its dining options offering three choices from formal fine dining to casual bar meals. Guests can choose between the elegant Dining Room, which serves a set menu of innovative, seasonally changing gourmet dishes, or the more casual Terrace Bistro, which offers a simpler à la carte menu. Both venues provide views out over Kenmare Bay while The Bar offers a selection of light dishes to accompany its extensive wine and whiskey selection.

Families

The hotel arranges daily activities for children such as educational nature walks or treasure hunts. There are three guest rooms which have bunk beds.

The hotel’s SÁMAS spa gives guests ample opportunity for relaxation and comfort with a range of treatments and therapies. There is a 25 m (82 ft) swimming pool, tennis courts and a small gym with complimentary fitness classes.

Each week the hotel creates a new schedule of hotel-led complimentary activities such as meditation, garden walks or guided power naps, and tops it off with a screening of a classic Hollywood movie in the evening.
