Once again, the five-star Powerscourt Hotel Resort & Spa earns a place among Europe’s finest, marking two consecutive years of recognition.
Powerscourt Hotel Resort & Spa has once again been recognised among the Top 20 Resorts in Europe in the prestigious Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2025 – marking the second consecutive year the five-star Wicklow resort has earned this coveted honour.
More than 600,000 Condé Nast Traveller readers worldwide cast their votes, sharing their most memorable travel experiences to highlight the destinations, hotels, and resorts they most look forward to revisiting. Celebrating its long-standing legacy as the travel industry’s most respected accolade, the Readers’ Choice Awards remain the ultimate benchmark of excellence.
Reflecting on the announcement, Eamonn Casey, General Manager, said:
“We are incredibly proud to be recognised once again among Europe’s finest resorts. This award is a true reflection of our loyal guests, whose continued support inspires everything we do, and of our dedicated team, who consistently deliver exceptional service and experiences worthy of our remarkable location.”
The past year has marked a dynamic chapter in the resort’s story, with continued innovation across its dining, spa, and guest experiences. Following the celebrated transformation of The Sally Gap Bar & Brasserie, Head Chef Cormac McCreary continues to elevate the menu with fresh, locally sourced Irish produce and flavours inspired by the surrounding landscape. Guests can also savour the best of modern Irish cuisine at SIKA Restaurant, where seasonal dishes are paired with panoramic views of the Sugar Loaf Mountain.
At Powerscourt Spa & Wellness, the hotel continues to redefine luxury relaxation. The award-winning spa offers an extensive menu of advanced treatments, alongside wellness rituals, a Himalayan Salt Room, and the serene Swarovski crystal-lit pool – all designed to restore balance and vitality in the heart of the Wicklow countryside.
Surrounded by the beauty of Powerscourt Estate, guests can explore over 1,000 acres of gardens, woodland trails, and riverside walks, or enjoy nearby golf, biking, and mountain adventures. Just 30 minutes from Dublin City Centre, Powerscourt offers the perfect blend of natural splendour and five-star sophistication.
