With its magnificent Georgian façade and lovingly restored 18th century interior, Oriel House Hotel is a wonderful place to relax and unwind in a truly elegant setting. Old world charm is combined with modern comfort to create a calm and tranquil haven in one of the most beautiful corners of the Emerald Isle. As well as a fabulous restaurant and a lively, stylish bar, Oriel House also has a fantastic leisure complex with a gym and a large indoor swimming pool where you can exercise away the stress of modern life.
With seven different rooms and a fabulous range of Babor treatments, the hotel’s new spa makes it the perfect place to be thoroughly pampered. The Scandinavian sauna has mood lighting and background music to ease away stress, while the steam room uses moist heat and delicious aromas to induce a deep state of relaxation. The spa also has a mud chamber where you can coat yourself in the Oriel’s Eifel Fango Sauce – a combination of highly effective ingredients including fango mud, cleansing salt and mineral oils. Other signature treatments include the Sea Creation facial, where cowrie shells are used to massage luscious Sea Creation elixir into the skin, before a specially blended Ocifique Algae mask is applied to seal the elixir, allowing it to work magic on every cell. Try this in conjunction with a soft, soothing foot massage to release any remaining tension.
