Powerscourt Hotel, Autograph Collection

Set in the beautiful Wicklow mountains, we had a wonderful time at Powerscourt over the weekend, from the moment we entered the hotel the employees were exceptionally friendly. We used the spa facilities, which I would highly recommend to include as part of any visit. The staff in the spa were very helpful and the spa itself spotless and very peaceful. Looking forward to another stay soon - thanks Powerscourt!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Powerscourt hotel. Every corner of the property is stunning, and the staff were incredibly helpful. We had a lovely dinner in the Sika restaurant, our waiter, Ionut, took incredible care of us. He was clearly very educated about the menu and offered perfect dessert recommendations. Andreea was also wonderful, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. We finished our night with drinks at the Sally Gap, where Aine looked after us perfectly. The atmosphere was spot on. We can't wait to come back again!

The location is just beautiful, so close to Powerscourt Gardens and waterfall is a bonus. Just a short drive to Dublin. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed. Our room was huge and extremely comfortable, the most comfortable pillows I’ve slept on in any hotel. Every little detail is covered. The mini bar has more than ample choices. Dinner was very nice with something to suit most tastes and dietary needs . While we were having dinner our beds were turned down, towels changed if needed and tea and coffee restocked. The complimentary water and chocolates were a nice addition . The pool/spa area is spotlessly clean , well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing afternoon.The saunas although small were very efficient. I actually cannot fault one single thing and will most definitely return very soon. All in all it was a lovely birthday treat.

Your experience comes through so clearly here. I’d lean into the emotional arc a bit more because what makes this review compelling isn’t just the luxury. It’s that after 10 days of travel, this felt restorative, memorable, and genuinely thoughtful in a way that stood out even to someone who travels extensively. After a 10-day trip through Ireland with my mom and a colleague, Powerscourt Hotel Resort & Spa was the absolute perfect place to end our journey. The property itself is stunning. The setting and views are spectacular, and from the moment you arrive, every detail feels thoughtful and intentional. The hotel blends classic elegance with modern comfort beautifully. The lobby was one of my favorite spaces — warm, inviting, beautifully designed, with incredible floral arrangements and carefully chosen fabrics and furnishings that immediately made the space feel luxurious without being overly formal. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and relaxing, with incredibly comfortable beds that felt especially appreciated after extensive travel. We also had phenomenal dining experiences at both restaurants. As someone with celiac disease, I was genuinely impressed by the level of care and knowledge surrounding gluten-free accommodations. Traveling with celiac can often create anxiety around meals, but the staff handled everything with such confidence and attention to detail that I felt completely comfortable dining there. The location is also ideal. It feels tucked away in the beauty of the Wicklow Mountains while still being easily accessible to Dublin. We barely scratched the surface of everything available nearby. Between the golf course, outdoor activities, and surrounding scenery, this is absolutely a place I would return to — next time with my children, for a longer stay of at least several days. I travel frequently around the world and stay in many high-end hotels, and I can honestly say this ranks among my top five hotel experiences. Powerscourt is not just beautiful — it feels special.

Was not special. We accepted the high prices. Really disappointed with breakfast. They charge €7.50 extra for Omelette and kippers. Collect your own breakfast. Its not 5 star treatment.
