Our journey through Ireland's Ancient East explores thousands of years of history in Wicklow, Kilkenny and Waterford The central location of Kilkenny's smart Pembroke Hotel is a big selling point, but it's not the only one. A 1930's V8 Ford Special in the lobby harks back to its previous incarnation as Statham's Garage, and the view of the rooftop is a peach - guests can get a short historical overview on request.
