Lake Hotel unveils refurbishments for new season
The Lake Hotel Killarney reopened for the 2026 season on Thursday January 29, revealing a series of significant interior developments.
The Huggard family continues its tradition of annual investment to maintain the four-star property’s standards.
The winter projects focused on a complete transformation of the reception area and the refurbishment of 15 guest bedrooms. The new-look foyer features forest green wallpaper, cream panelling, and ambient lighting designed to create a warm atmosphere upon arrival.
Bedroom renovations included the expansion of several units to create larger family rooms. These spaces utilise colour palettes inspired by the lakeshore landscape and offer views over Lough Lein. These updates follow recent enhancements to the hotel’s restaurant, bistro, and the Lake Thermal Suite.
The refurbishments were overseen by Louise and Ailish at Hal-Lou Furnishings. The design approach focuses on modern comforts while retaining the hotel’s original character and old-world charm.
"We are thrilled with the enhancements made throughout our seasonal closure," said Sales and Marketing Manager, Sheila O’Callaghan. "The Huggard family are highly committed to maintaining exemplary standards and invest extensively in the hotel each year. The recent investment will really elevate the product offering."
The hotel is now accepting bookings for the spring season. Special offers are available at www.lakehotel.com or by calling 064 6631035.
