Condé Nast Traveller ranks Ballyfin manor where Kimye stayed ‘grandest Irish hotel’

The Midlands manor where Kanye West and Kim Kardashian famously honeymooned has been dubbed the grandest hotel in Ireland by the world’s top travel bible.

Ballyfin — which hosted Kimye on their Irish honeymoon last May — has been name-checked by the Condé Nast Traveller as the estate to “lord it up in style”.

The entire castle — which can be rented for a cool €25,000 a night— was the surprise destination for the superstar newlyweds who shunned tropical paradises for a medieval break in the heart of Co Laois.
