A national treasure built in 1813, the Imperial Hotel has been magnificently restored while keeping its historic charm. The Imperial is a luxury 4 star hotel in the heart of Cork city, which is a compact space and everything is within walking distance. Explore the multinational high street retailers on Patrick Street, the home grown boutiques on Oliver Plunkett street and sample the gourmet delights on offer at the English Market. Cork has all the vibrancy and industry of a modern, European city, scratch the surface lightly and you’ll find signs of its ancient culture alive and well. Traditional Irish music with its distinctive instruments – bodhrán, uilleann pipes, harp flute, fiddle and accordion – rings out of city pubs today much as it did from the great halls of ancient times and all in a “stones throw” of the Imperial Hotel. Situated close to Cork’s cultural and historic buildings, the Imperial also offers a great location, from where you can visit University College Cork, the majestic Blarney Castle, Kinsale and Midleton.

The Imperial Hotel is home to Ireland’s first Aveda Lifestyle Salon and Spa, Escape. Escape is an oasis of calm in the heart of Cork City, where you can put the city behind you and reclaim your sense of self, one blissful minute at a time, in a sanctuary devoted to relaxation and beauty.
