With a visit to Cork, you can kiss the Blarney Stone, climb a bell tower or go to jail! You can hike hills or cross rivers (well, one river in two branches, to be precise), all without ever leaving Cork, a compact city with a big itinerary!

Our new luxury Cork hotel makes the ideal base from which to explore this wonderful city, especially if your time here is limited.

From Jurys Cork Hotel, located on the banks of the River Lee, the beautiful city of Cork is laid out before you. The city’s treasures are waiting to be discovered, all are within easy reach of our luxury Cork Hotel, either down narrow medieval lanes or up stone staircases. Shop in The English Market and pedestrian-friendly St Patrick’s Street; or sample life as it used to be at the Butter Museum and the Old City Gaol; and compare and contrast the output of Cork’s rival breweries, Beamish and Murphy’s. For purely scientific purposes, that is.
