The Killarney Park Celebrates Top 10 Rankings in Both Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards US and UK

The Killarney Park is celebrating international recognition in the 2026 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, having been ranked No. 8 in the US Readers’ Choice Awards and No. 5 in the UK Readers’ Choice Awards.

Now in their 39th year, the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards are among the travel industry’s most established accolades, celebrating the hotels, resorts, destinations and travel experiences that have made the greatest impression on the publication’s readers.

This year, an extraordinary 798,867 votes were cast by Condé Nast Traveler readers, sharing the places and experiences around the world that stood out most in their travels.

For The Killarney Park, the recognition is particularly meaningful as it comes directly from the travellers who have experienced the hotel for themselves.

Just moments from Killarney National Park, the hotel has remained deeply connected to its surroundings and to the community that has shaped it. That sense of belonging carries through the guest experience, from the familiar welcome on arrival to fireside conversations, thoughtful service and the quieter moments that unfold throughout a stay.

Marcus Treacy, Managing Director of The Killarney Park, said: “Recognition such as this means a great deal to us because it comes directly from the people who have spent their time with us. As a family-owned hotel, there is something particularly special about knowing that what we have created here in Killarney continues to resonate with guests travelling to us from around the world.

"A hotel is ultimately remembered for how it makes you feel, and knowing that The Killarney Park has left such an impression on travellers from both the US and UK is something we are enormously proud of.

Our team brings incredible warmth, care and personality to the hotel every day, often through the smallest details and moments. This recognition belongs to them, and we are very grateful to every reader who took the time to vote for The Killarney Park.”

The double recognition further strengthens The Killarney Park’s position among Ireland’s leading luxury hotels and reflects its continued commitment to creating experiences that feel distinctly rooted in Killarney and the surrounding landscape.

The 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards celebrate the very best in global travel, as chosen by Condé Nast Traveler readers themselves, with hundreds of thousands of travellers casting their votes for their favourite hotels and travel experiences around the world.
