Powerscourt Hotel, Autograph Collection

We had the pleasure of celebrating a family wedding in Powerscourt. The setting and atmosphere of the hotel is perfect to relax for the festive season, with a pianist and cosy open fires making it all the more magical. Staff were attentive and accommodating, despite being busy. The rooms felt luxurious and the Sally Gap was great for lunch and evening cocktails. The spa facilities and treatments were excellent and I recommend the Swedish massage. Having dined in the Silka restaurant the previous night, I was impressed that the event catering for the wedding did not falter in terms of quality and taste. The team at Powerscourt went above and beyond to ensure a magical Christmas stay for my family on this special occasion, and I look forward to visiting again soon!

We stayed at Powerscourt in December 2025, My wife and I have stayed about 8 times now. In our times staying it is great to say that standards have been maintained. The welcome and ease of booking in and the first impression is great. The hotel is very clean, the rooms are equally spotless. Staff are helpful, kind and helpful. We ate in the hotel and our evening meals were first class.

Each December a friend and I treat ourselves to an overnight at this super location. To be immersed in the distinctive signature Christmas at Powerscourt is worth the trip to stand in hall and soak up the ambience. Cant recommend this hotel enough. Food choices are excellent and accommodation wont let you down. The spa and swimming pool are the ultimate in 5 star and reflect the quality experience throughout.

I stayed at Powerscourt Hotel on December 14th. I’m still annoyed - because it’s now set an impossibly high standard for every other “five-star” hotel I’ll ever visit. The hotel was like a palace from a winter fairy tale. The lobby was warm, festive, and perfect with a beautiful view of parkland. Dinner was excellent, which is annoying because I wanted at least one thing to complain about. I caught up with old school friends, then ended the night listening to Christmas carols in the lobby while drinking cocktails. The room was luxurious with ridiculous views. Slept incredibly well. Woke up smug. Went for a swim. Had a spectacular breakfast that was calm, unhurried, and overlooked the courtyard — basically the opposite of real life. We wandered the beautiful gardens once more before leaving. This was more than a luxury stay; it was an escape from reality. Then, tragically, we had to leave and return to the humdrum existence of everyday life. Perfect Christmas escape with old friends. Would absolutely return. To celebrate something important. Or nothing at all.

A fabulous experience from the gorgeous accommodation to the Xmas singer in the lounge! Car can be powered whilst wandering in Avoca shop and gardens!
