The Montenotte Hotel

An old estate perched on a hill above Cork, the Montenotte is a boutique hotel that went full 21st century without losing the bones of the original house. Bold colors and contemporary prints work against classic silhouettes, and the newer cabin suites trade city rooftop views for woodland green depending on your mood. The hilltop gardens and terrace bistro make the elevation feel like the whole point, and there's a private cinema, in case the view gets old.
