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.

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 ...

Best Ireland Road Trips – Cork Adventures
Summer has finally arrived and here, at Hotel Isaacs, we are basking in the delights of sunshine and the newfound warmth the days are bringing. We have added some fresh seasonal additions to our fine dining restaurant-Greenes and of course, what better way to check out our pretty courtyard with its very own waterfall than with some of the sensational cocktails on offer at Ireland’s number one cocktail bar, Cask? Of course, one of the many wonderful things about a ...
