Hotel

Calendar Monday, 11 August 2025

Looking for a spontaneous escape before the summer winds down? Whether you're squeezing in a family trip before the kids head back to school or planning a fun weekend with friends, Pembroke Kilkenny is the perfect base for a last-minute August break. Located in the heart of the city, our luxury hotel is ideal for exploring Kilkenny’s historic charm, enjoying great food and drinks, browsing local shops, or simply unwinding in one of our spacious, comfortable bedrooms.

Explore the City

Kilkenny is one of Ireland’s most walkable cities, so getting around on foot is a breeze. Take advantage of the final rays of summer sun with a picnic in the beautiful Kilkenny Castle grounds or wander through the city’s many green spaces. If you’re feeling curious, embark on the Medieval Mile walking tour, a fascinating route that stretches from St Canice’s Cathedral to Kilkenny Castle, offering a glimpse into the city’s rich medieval heritage.

Step Into History

Every corner of Kilkenny tells a story. Visit the 13th-century St Canice’s Cathedral, a place of worship for over 800 years, or explore the lively history of local brewing at the Smithwick’s Experience. Dive into 300 years of brewing tradition, ending with a tasting session in the heart of the city’s pub scene. Or pop into the legendary Kyteler’s Inn, once owned by Dame Alice Kyteler accused of witchcraft in the 14th century.
