Powerscourt Hotel, Autograph Collection

On the 19th Dec myself and my sisters treated ourselves to an overnight stay with dinner & breakfast to celebrate the festive season and to get away from it all. Powerscourt did not disappoint and in all honesty we came away feeling refreshed, replenished and feeling very grateful having been so well looked after by every single member of staff. On arrival, we could see there was a wedding and the hotel was busy, however we need not have worried about how busy the hotel was because immediately concierge approached us to take our bags. We had 3 rooms booked and had arrived early but to our absolute delight one of the rooms was ready early and we were brought straight up with our bags. The reception team said they would phone me as soon as the other rooms were ready. The rooms were just amazing, spotlessly clean, stunning views and just felt like absolute luxury. I could feel my shoulders drop and the stress on the lead up to Christmas just leave my body. On a walk up to Avoca I split the sole of my boot and when we got back to the hotel the reception team called a lovely maintenance guy who had the boot mended for me in no time. I was so impressed and very grateful because I only had the one pair with me for our overnight! After a lovely swim, we had dinner booked in the Sally Gap and it did not disappoint. An absolute professional of a server named Holly I think, looked after us for the evening. There was a big group of us and despite that AND the fact that it was a full house, the service was just exceptional, as was the food! Our breakfast the next morning, with the sun rising over the sugarloaf was breathtaking. We all left feeling amazing and we will definitely be back.

We stayed in Powerscourt the Saturday before Christmas and had the most amazing time! From entering the avenue with the Christmas trees and twinkling lights, parking was easy and we were greeted by the loveliest, welcoming staff who immediately offered us a warm Christmas cider and some chocolates. Our room, which was more like a suite with sitting room style area and thee most comfortable beds, the underfloor heating in the bathroom was a perfect touch as was the amazing selection in the mini bar, including champagne, crisps, chocolates, nuts and every type of drink you’d require. The pool area was beautiful, colour scheme fabulous, even the water felt softer! Staff were delightful in every area and seemed to enjoy their jobs, professional yet friendly. Good was delicious and the views from the breakfast restaurant were spectacular. I can’t recommend this hotel enough, perfect setting to explore Dublin and surrounding counties, we can’t wait to return

We stayed for one night midweek booking the spa package which includes a one night stay, a five course meal in the Sika restaurant, one Spa treatment each and a full breakfast. We arrived early on our first day and we were greeted by lovely reception - the staff are very helpful informing us of all the activities and that there was a bus which could take you to Enniskerry on the hour every hour which was very helpful. We explored the grounds, had some coffee and a lovely lunch. We then had our treatments and the spa staff were really professional and the treatments were fabulous. The steam room, sauna and pool were very relaxing. Dinner at the Sika restaurant was immaculate, a really nice experience and the hosts were very friendly and professional ensuring we were topped up and enjoying our meals. Followed by a drink in the Sally Gap bar which had a great atmosphere. The hotel room was divine we had the Mountain View room overlooking the Sugarloaf. The room was fabulous underfloor heating in the bathroom which was lovely and cosy especially on a winter’s night. Overall a gorgeous stay ideal for a couple who want to relax and unwind during the busy months up to Christmas. Very luxurious and romantic. Would highly recommend, brilliant location too where we went to the Garden Pavilion and shops right next door the following day.

This hotel is absolutely incredible. It’s so beautiful and the surroundings are incredibly beautiful too. The staff are so kind, helpful and friendly. When they brought my daughter her hot milk and honey of an evening, the lady would always say goodnight to her and us. It felt so family-orientated and so welcoming. Brian with the concierge dropped us up at the garden centre and collected us again. The people who work here, work so hard and nothing is too much trouble for them. Breakfast was amazing! The food in the Sally Gap was so tasty and top quality. The pool was so relaxing and they even fetched a pool noodle for my daughter to help her with her swimming. We didn’t want to leave! Powerscourt is ‘top-notch’ and I haven’t stayed anywhere as good as this in my 35 years. We love you Powerscourt! Thank you for our unforgettable stay. Love, Emily, Jane and Moana xxx

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!
