“The River Lee, part of the Irish luxury Doyle Collection, majestically towers over Cork’s famous waterway in the heart of the city. A thoroughly modern property, facilities include a spa, with 20m pool and the ever popular River Club Bar and Restaurant, nestled on the banks of the River Lee.”

Hotel review

In the heart of Cork city, The River Lee is a contemporary property that lives up to the exacting standards of The Doyle Collection hotels. The neutral décor is enhanced by floor to ceiling windows on each floor that flood the property with light and offers expansive views over the city while the staff are immensely friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. Guestrooms are bright, uncluttered rooms that are larger than average with a small seating area, a dedicated workspace, coffee machines and duck down duvets. The bathrooms feature both walk in shower and bath with cosy underfloor heating and plush robes. The twenty four hour room service is a nice touch. The chic surrounds of The Cocktail Bar are the perfect place to enjoy afternoon tea, or a rare local whiskey while the popular River Club boasts a grill room and outdoor terrace to enjoy brunch, lunch or dinner.
