As Killarney’s premier historic hotel, Great Southern has been an established iconic venue, providing the finest hospitality, since it’s opening in 1854. Today the hotel is led by the third generation of a family of Irish hoteliers and their team of hospitality professionals, experienced in managing high profile events and creating remarkable occasions.
With the aspect of a grand country estate, Great Southern is a unique urban resort, set on 6 acres of gardens right in the centre of bustling Killarney town. The hotel is a showcase of original and magnificent Victorian architecture and has a host of historic venues ideal for intimate gatherings up to 100 people, as well as a purpose built Event Centre for largescale events for up to 950 delegates. Meeting planners have a dedicated Event Manager. The Event Centre which is air-conditioned and offers complimentary delegate Wi-Fi throughout is an exceptionally adaptable space and the largest suite, The Great Room, can be divided into three sections depending on your requirements. The Event Centre is also home to The Auditorium, a tiered seminar space for up to 225 delegates. In addition, the pre-function and foyer areas provide ease of movement for delegates to network and liaise with exhibitors. There are also a range of syndicate rooms for breakout sessions.
As well as 177 beautifully appointed bedrooms, the Railway Residence and adjacent holiday homes, Great Southern is just a short walk to a number of other 4 (including sister property, Killarney Royal) and 5 star properties within Killarney town, which are ideal for any overflow bedroom requirements.
Great Southern is located directly adjacent to Killarney Train Station, is close to all major roads and Kerry International Airport, allowing your delegates ease of access from anywhere in Ireland or abroad. Great Southern is close to all of county Kerry’s major attractions including the Ring of Kerry and is an excellent base for group excursions and activities.
