Page 1 of 2 Share IMPERIAL HOTEL WITH ESCAPE SALON & SPA, South Mall, Cork City. Imperial Hotel Reservations Imperial Hotel and Escape Salon and Spa Why stay here? Perfect city-centre location for business and shopping Escape Spa is first class Elegantly historic and contemporary chic This traditional favourite among local Cork residents dates back to 1813 and has seen many historical guests through its doors. However the recent years have seen many improvements including the upgrading of it’s bedrooms, redesigning the restaurants, and most exciting of all, introducing Ireland’s first Aveda Concept Spa, “Escape” – a sanctuary of pure indulgence. They have also added a state of the art business centre, a new contemporary restaurant and delicatessen, refurbished the popular South’s Bar and added Lafayette’s, a French style brassiere. All this and more impressed me as I visited once more this landmark hotel in the bustling city of Cork. ACCOMMODATION AT IMPERIAL HOTEL Known to many as a national treasure, there is no doubt that this hotel is well loved by locals. When I arrived recently there was a real buzz about the place, with all ages and groups enjoying the hotel’s facilities. On this occasion, I was fortunate to stay in the Penthouse, which includes two exclusive room with a balcony and city views. The space and luxury was delightful. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and huge, there was a large desk area, widescreen television, plenty of individual lighting, and a wonderful bathroom. Complete with Jacuzzi bath and individual shower with great pressure, I also appreciated the stylish Italian designed wash-hand basin. It was exclusive, private and very quiet and calm – perfect for a visit to the city where you want to stay cool! DINING AT THE IMPERIAL HOTEL The Pembroke Restaurant is situated on the ground floor and both breakfast and dinner are served there. There are both an A La Carte and a set menu options and a concise wine-list. There is an open kitchen at one end of the room, and with a window-side table, I was able to watch both the action in the kitchen and out on the street! I also noted the dining options which offered a starter and main course, a main course and dessert or a main course and wine at very good prices. The restaurant was busy with both hotel guests and non-residents. << Start < Prev 1 2 Next > End >> Google Map ContentMap by Turismo.eu
