Mount Juliet Estate has added another prestigious honour to its storied history of luxury hospitality. The iconic Kilkenny estate has been named the Best Resort in UK & Ireland in the prestigious Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence 2027 which took place 2nd November.
Commenting on the achievement, Mark Dunne, General Manager of Mount Juliet Estate, said:
“We are delighted to be recognised by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler. This award means a great deal because it reflects the experiences of our guests. I was proud to accept it on behalf of the team, whose hard work and commitment make Mount Juliet Estate such a special place to stay.”
Multi-million-euro restoration
The recognition follows an extensive, multi-million-euro restoration of the historic Manor House. Specialist conservation and restoration teams repaired and restored the Georgian plasterwork, period cornicing and original fireplaces, bringing new life to the 18th-century architecture while transforming the guest suites and public spaces.
Set within 500 acres of Kilkenny countryside along the banks of the River Nore, Mount Juliet Estate combines its rich heritage with luxury guest experiences. Accommodation spans two distinct five-star properties: the grand, 31-bedroom 18th-century Manor House and the contemporary, 93-bedroom Hunter’s Yard Hotel.
The estate also features the Michelin-starred Lady Helen restaurant, an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, a Health and Wellness Centre, a state-of-the-art equestrian centre, and estate activities.
