A Cork Christmas

The most wonderful time of the year is upon us! At our boutique hotel, we are in the throes of preparing for the fast-approaching Christmas season.  Suffice to say, everything is very merry and bright here these days. We have decked the halls with boughs of hall, twinkling fairy lights and that’s before we even venture outside into our courtyard-our very own Winter Wonderland with the star of the show- Cork City’s only waterfall currently home to a larger than ...

All That Jazz

It’s that time of year again!  Not quite Hallowe’en, not quite in the zone for Christmas shopping, possibly still lusting after summer days, kids back to school, nights closing in- you’d be forgiven for wanting a bit of energy, excitement and light in your life.  Allow us to save you from the impending winter bleakness with a reminder that the best festival of the year-the Cork Jazz Festival is hitting our streets the October Bank Holiday weekend.  Deemed by many ...

Top 10 Reasons to get to Cork this Autumn

Crisp leaves, lushness, golden colours, the shortening days and a noticeable drop in temperatures- yes, Autumn is in the air and after a non-stop go, go, go summer, we are looking forward to the impending cosiness and adapting to a slower, more indoor focused lifestyle. Of course, here at our boutique hotel, we do warmth and cosiness very well.  Our deluxe and superior rooms as well as our self-catering apartments are the perfect place to unwind after a day’s retail ...

Long-Stay Apartments In Cork City

Cork City- we love it!  The vibrancy, the colour, the endless activities to choose from, how close we are to everything and of course, all the wonderful hidden gems!  It never ceases to amaze us how we keep discovering new things to see and do just when we think we’ve exhausted everything the city has to offer. And, here at Hotel Isaacs, we too have some of our very own hidden gems.  Did you know that our boutique hotel also ...

Best Festivals In Cork City This Summer

Summer sun-something’s begun! Excuse the somewhat corny start to this blog entry (Is there anything that says summer more than a blaring of John Travolta and Olivia Newton John on ‘Summer Nights’) but we can surely be forgiven for feeling a little bit blissed out by how blessed we’ve been recently with all of this gorgeous weather. We are all feeling summery at the moment. Our guests are in fine form, Greenes Restaurant is sprucing up the menu to reflect ...

Hail Glorious Saint Patrick dear saint of our Isle.  Yes, it’s that time of year again.  The days are getting longer, the birds are starting to sing and our season is about to kick off in the only way it can with a big celebration of our national Saint’s Day.  That’s Saint’s Patrick in case you didn’t guess from the title of this article!  He banished the snakes from our land and made us respectable Christians.  Every year, we like ...

Christmas in Cork

One more week until it’s Christmas!

The excitement is mounting here at Hotel Isaacs especially in our Christmas themed courtyard.  And whilst it’s cold out there, we couldn’t be happier than in our very own Winter Wonderland resplendent with glittering trees, warming drinks, Christmas carols, cosy bedrooms and some of Ireland’s finest cuisine at our award-winning Greenes Restaurant.  Did we mention it looks out on Cork City’s only waterfall or that we have our very own majestic Christmas tree proudly taking up residence there for the ...
