Check Out: three hotels to stay in for your Cork city break

Cocktails, quirky art, fun vibes and more at these great Cork hotels

The Glasshouse at The Montenotte

It seems like everyone is checking into a Cork city hotel this weather. And that’s just the Corkonians! After the city’s hospitality sector became the poster child for the nation’s al fresco dining scene, so too have the city’s hotels been shapeshifting, with either exciting new properties such as The Dean, refurbs like at The Metropole, or with gleaming new indoor-outdoor spaces like The Glasshouse at The Montenotte. To get a taste of the latter, this week I checked into one of Cork’s most popular four-star hotels to get a taste of the highlife in this staycation Garden of Eden.
