The Europe Hotel & Resort and Ard na Sidhe Country House both recognised with Condé Nast Traveler 2025 Reader’s Choice Awards
Condé Nast Traveller this week announced the results of its prestigious annual Readers’ Choice Awards, and the Killarney Hotels Collection is delighted to share that both The Europe Hotel & Resort and Ard na Sidhe Country House have been
recognised among the best in the world.
The Europe Hotel & Resort was ranked No. 10 in the “Top Resorts in Europe” category, while Ard na Sidhe Country House earned the No. 3 position in the “Top Hotels in Ireland” category. Both properties, located in County Kerry, offer guests two distinct but equally memorable experiences.
The Europe Hotel Resort is renowned for its contemporary luxury, comprising 180 elegant rooms and suites, many with private balconies overlooking the lakes, gardens, and mountains. At its heart lies the award-winning ESPA at The Europe, a 50,000 sq. ft. wellness sanctuary.
In contrast, Ard na Sidhe Country House offers an intimate escape in a luxurious Victorian country manor set on the shores of Caragh Lake. Nestled within 32 acres of private gardens originally designed by Lady Edith Gordon, the property has just 18 bedrooms across the main house and garden house, ensuring an atmosphere of seclusion, charm, and timeless elegance.
Condé Nast Traveller received more than 182,500 survey responses from readers rating their travel experiences across the globe to offer a comprehensive look at the places they eagerly anticipate revisiting. The Readers’ Choice Awards, with their unparalleled legacy as the travel industry’s longest running and most prestigious accolades, remain the ultimate symbol and acknowledgment of excellence within the travel sector.
Michael Brennan, Managing Director of Killarney Hotels Collection commented
“These awards are a reflection of the incredible teams at both The Europe Hotel & Resort and Ard na Sidhe Country House. Their passion, attention to detail, and genuine care for our guests are at the heart of what makes a stay with us truly memorable. We look forward to welcoming back our loyal guests and extending the same warm welcome to new visitors in the months ahead.”
The 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards are published on Condé Nast Traveller’s website and celebrated in the November issue, showcasing the best in travel from around the globe.
