New season means new interiors
One hotel has just reopened for 2026 showcasing a number of new developments including extensive refurbishments.
The Lake Hotel Killarney reopened for the season on Thursday 29 January and the award-winning four-star property's winter projects have included the refurbishment of their reception area, the revamp of 15 bedrooms and various soft refurbishments throughout the property. Other recent projects have included the unveiling of the Lake Thermal Suite as well as the refurbishment of the hotel’s restaurant and bistro areas.
The Lake Hotel’s reception area has been transformed with lavish interiors that resonate with its breathtaking surroundings. Rich forest green wallpaper, cream panelling, ambient lighting and plush curtains create a warm atmosphere for guests as soon as they walk through the hotel foyer; the serene tones throughout ensure a relaxing and inviting ambience.
The hotel’s bedroom renovations include complete refurbishments and expansion of some rooms, unveiling larger family rooms with luxurious interiors and lake views incorporating tones and colour palettes that reflect the natural backdrop of the beautiful lakeshore landscape.
The Lake Hotel refurbs are overseen by Louise and Ailish at Hal-Lou Furnishings. Their approach to interiors keep classic details front and centre, always honouring the hotel’s original character and its enduring old-world charm, while introducing modern comforts that feel natural, resulting in spaces that are both timeless and quietly contemporary.
Sales and Marketing Manager Sheila O’Callaghan commented: “We are thrilled with the enhancements made throughout our seasonal closure. The Huggard family are highly committed to maintaining exemplary standards for our guests and invest extensively in the hotel each year. The recent investment will really elevate what was already a wonderful product offering.”
The Lake Hotel is a four-star family-owned property and has been in the Huggard family name for more than 100 years.
Nestled on the lakeshore overlooking the renowned Lakes of Killarney, and just 2kms from Killarney town centre, The Lake Hotel offers something for all its visitors.
Serving delectable dishes daily, all dining options are enveloped by views of Lough Lein, with a magnificent backdrop of mountains, islands, woodlands, and the 12th century McCarthy Mor Castle ruins.
