Four Star Hotel Killarney
Hotel Killarney has been awarded four star status by Fáilte Ireland. The accreditation follows a significant refurbishment programme that was completed last year.
“This recognition means the world to our team,” said general manager Misja Herfurt. “Many of them have been with us for years, and I know they are all so proud of this achievement. We have always aimed to offer a warm welcome and genuine, heartfelt hospitality to our guests, and now that’s perfectly matched by four-star comfort, service and style.”
The 2024 refurbishment brought a fresh new look to the hotel’s 190 bedrooms and family suites and transformed key guest areas, including the expansive lobby, the bar and restaurant, and the Club Vitae leisure centre with its 18-metre pool and gym. Family facilities have also been enhanced, with the addition of updated play zones, an expanded kids’ club, the introduction of Cubbie sensory hubs, and improved family room options. Further development in 2025 included refurbishment of 31 additional bedrooms and the start of significant investment in a phased refurbishment of the Leisure Centre including the pool, gym and changing facilities.
“This is a huge moment for us,” said Lorraine Crimmins, owner of Crimmins Hotel & Leisure, the family-run group behind Hotel Killarney.
