Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Limerick Celebrate following ‘Family Hotel of the Year’ Win at the Irish Hotel Awards 2018
They say that ‘you’re only as good as your last performance’, so it would seem that the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Limerick are doing better than ever following their big win at the Irish Hotel Awards this week!
The awards ceremony, which took place at the Heritage Hotel & Spa, Killenard, Co. Laois on Tuesday 24th April and was presented by Adrian Martin, saw the popular hotel stave off stiff competition in the category of ‘Family Hotel of the Year’ and emerge the triumphant winners of this coveted award. Reputable hotels; the Amber Springs Hotel in Gorey, The Inn at Dromoland, GN Mulranny Park Hotel in Mayo and Roe Park Resort in Limavady joined the four-star Limerick hotel in the highly-competitive category, but fell at the final hurdle when the well-deserved Radisson Blu scooped the coveted prize.

The Irish Hotel Awards celebrates the amazing commitment and dedication of the hospitality industry in Ireland and recognises their excellence in providing outstanding guest experiences. The deliberation process is a complex one, as following their review of an individual hotel, the IHA research team delivers a 280-point report offering 360-degree feedback on each department in hotel properties. The researcher also provides a detailed assessment of their guest experience from reservation and check-in, right through to checkout and departure. With so many areas of the hotel under scrutiny, it really is no surprise that the venue, conveniently located just 10 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Limerick City, has been honoured in this specific category.
At the Radisson Limerick, the family fun begins at check-in when the young members of the group receive a Global Explorers gift pack, which contains pictures to colour as well as currency to use in exchange for treats and games, ensuring that the kids are kept entertained for hours. Onsite areas like the tennis and basketball courts, playground and magical fairy garden provide a haven for kids who love to be outdoors, while those rainy days are taken care of thanks to the fully-equipped playroom and the Global Explorers Kids’ Club, which offers an impressive selection of fully supervised seasonal indoor and outdoor activities including Art & Crafts, Water Zorbing, Petting Zoo and Hoverball Archery. Young diners can also ‘Stay & Eat for Free’, allowing them to refuel in the midst of all the fun!
Parents looking to relax while on duty will love the family bedrooms at the Radisson Limerick, which are located on the ground floor and can comfortably accommodate two adults and up to three children, while interconnecting rooms are also available for bigger troops. The hotel’s babysitting service allows the grown-ups to enjoy some down time to catch up over a meal at Porter’s Restaurant or to indulge in a treatment at the luxury Rain Spa and Leisure Club. The Leisure Club, with its dedicated swimming pool timetable for children, also provides a huge draw for the little mini-breakers.
This award-winning family hotel is ideally located just 10 minutes from Limerick city centre, 15 minutes from Shannon Airport and offers easy access to the motorway, yet feels like a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre nestled in its tranquil and picturesque countryside setting. Their easy assessable location ensures that the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Limerick is the ideal base from which to explore, not only all the fun-filled family attractions that the region has to offer such as the fascinating Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, King John’s Castle, Craggaunowen, Stonehall Wildlife Farm, but also the wonders of both the Wild Atlantic Way and Ireland’s Ancient East.
