Powerscourt Hotel, Autograph Collection

One night felt like a few. Enjoyed the beautiful pool. Scrumptious dinner, room service breakfast and massage at the spa. So relaxing we felt we had been away for a few days.

We greatly appreciated our stay at Powercourts hotel in Enniskerry, it was an experience out of the ordinary. As a young family, it fulfilled most of the requirements of a fully comfortable and effortless stay. The hotel has most of the amenities one could wish for. We truly enjoyed the spacious rooms with the elegant interior choices with peaceful and beautiful outdoor views and surroundings. The pool and fitness area was also amazing and quiet while also being welcoming to families with children. The breakfast buffet was impressive despite that we missed some more fresh vegetable options, but this was something we missed in Ireland generally- so perhaps a cultural difference? Enniskerry is a beautiful village with a special feel and many cute cafes and restaurants, the only thing we slightly missed was a proper grocery store nearby. We will forever remember our stay at Powercourts hotel and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to stay in the calm surroundings nearby Wicklow mountain ranges.

We were attending an appointment in Dublin and decided to have breakfast at Powerscourt on our way back home to Wexford. This was going to allow us to check out the hotel as we try stay away a couple of times a year as a treat. On entering we asked could we have breakfast and were led downstairs by a friendly and chatty attendant. On arriving at the breakfast room we were rudely turned away by the maître d' stating they were too busy. Extremely rude and dismissive. Understand if a hotel is busy but the manner and how we were treated was not to be expected in a “premium” hotel. We’ve been lucky enough to stay at Adare, Shelbourne, The Westbury and others over the years. This is not on par with these hotels. Would not stay or recommend based on the interaction of the main staff there.

We stayed five nights at the hotel. The food was very good at Sally Gap and Sika. Sika best for a more relaxed and quiet dining experience while Sally Gap was much louder, but food was good. We were informed upon arrival the first evening dinner reservation at Sally Gap we had a 1:45 minute time slot for our table which I’ve never been lectured about before in person. We had read the notice and were well aware of it and happily made it through our meal with five minutes to spare. We could have exited much sooner had the kitchen brought out our food sooner but it was slow. Lots of families with small children having fun, great place for kids. Sika was our choice two nights and the food was excellent as was the waiter Alvyn who we had both evenings. Special thanks to his attention to an allergy and his cheerful attitude. Porter named Tatoo was always helpful, remembered our names and always pleasant when we saw him. Outstanding service with attention to detail. Bill Floyd the customer service manager did a fine job attending to an issue with a mechanical problem in our room and moved us to another to make things right. He was great to work with. This hotel does not have a concierge and communications can be confusing at times. Overall the staff is friendly, rooms clean, but we come to expect a well oiled machine when we stay at an Autograph hotel but did not feel that way here at Powerscourt. Beautiful grounds and building.

I am writing to express my gratitude for the exceptional hospitality during my stay. In particular, I would like to recognize the lady at the reception who handled my check-in on May 26th. She was extremely helpful, polite, and provided excellent service. Her warm hospitality made my stay unforgettable. Thank you so much for the exceptional service!
