Heights Hotel leads the conversation on Women's Wellbeing

This summer, The Heights Hotel Killarney has become the first hotel in Killarney to introduce complimentary Riley period products for both guests and employees, reinforcing a simple belief: period products are an essential, not a luxury.

The initiative has been launched in partnership with Riley, an Irish, female-founded Certified B Corporation (B Corp).
Available throughout the hotel's guest and staff bathrooms, the initiative ensures that anyone who needs period products can access them freely and discreetly. While the change may seem small, it reflects a much bigger conversation around equality, accessibility and dignity.
For The Heights Hotel, this isn't about following a trend or adding another guest amenity. It's about creating an environment where people feel genuinely cared for and helping to normalise conversations around women's health.
Rachel Murphy, Head of Sales at The Heights Hotel Killarney, said:
"Providing complimentary period products is a simple gesture, but one that can have a meaningful impact. No one should have to worry about whether they have access to period care when they're away from home or at work. We're incredibly proud to be the first hotel in Killarney to partner with Riley and hope it encourages more businesses to see period products as an everyday essential rather than an optional extra."
To celebrate the launch, The Heights Hotel will host a complimentary Women's Wellness Event on 22nd August, bringing together a panel of guest speakers to explore important topics affecting women's health and wellbeing.
The event will create a welcoming space for open and honest conversations around subjects including menstrual health, menopause, period poverty, female empowerment and overall wellbeing; topics that are becoming increasingly important, yet are still too often overlooked.
Sean McDermott, General Manager of The Heights Hotel Killarney, added:
"At The Heights Hotel, we believe hospitality is about more than providing a place to stay. it's about looking after people. This initiative is a reflection of the values that guide our business every day: kindness, inclusion and community. By making period products freely available, we're removing a small barrier that can make a big difference to someone's day”
The complimentary Women's Wellness Event will take place on August 22 at The Heights Hotel Killarney, with further details and guest speakers to be announced in the coming weeks. Enquiries to events@killarneyheights.ie.
