2016 Best Hotel in the World: Tour of Ballyfin in Ireland

Posted on November 25, 2016

I was fortunate to visit Ballyfin in County Laois, Ireland last week. Condé Nast recently voted Ballyfin as 2016’s best hotel in the and honestly, it deserves that title. Here is a brief tour of the main level of the hotel. The surrounding property of 614 acres of green was absolutely spectacular and I’ll include more pictures in another post.

    Wow, these rooms look so cozy and beautiful. I would enjoy reading those books with a nice cup of tea just like you. Seems like Ireland in general is worth a trip, altough I heard/read the weather is kind of unsettled there

      The weather is unpredictable, so you will experience rain sun and maybe hail all in a few hours. Gorgeous countryside though ;) Dublin is lovely too and the people are extremely friendly.
