Radisson RED
If you’re a fan of stylish design choices, the Radisson RED will absolutely pique your interest. Just five minutes from the heart of the city, the hotel’s modern rooms and suites provide a perfect base for exploring, and if you want to avoid the rain and stay put for the night, their restaurant and bar offer great options from brekkie to late night drinks.

The Galmont Hotel & Spa
Another beautiful option just around the corner from the train and bus stations, The Galmont has the added appeal of their incredible Spirit One Spa, where you can step into complete and utter relaxation. Complete with a heated 18m pool, a sauna, jacuzzi, outdoor hot tub and state of the art gym facilities, it ticks all the boxes. Plus, their atmospheric dining spot Coopers, Marinas restaurant and the outdoor terrace overlooking Lough Atalia, Galway and beyond, it’s got it all under one roof.
The Dean Galway
Standing tall among the surrounding bars and restaurants is The Dean, and a dinner in Sophie’s Rooftop Restaurant is a noon-negotiable when staying here. It’s got panoramic views of the city itself and Ireland’s west coast, and the food is seriously good. Downstairs, you’ll find familiar favourites like Elephant & Castle, and the gorgeous Peig’s Bar. The rooms themselves range from cosy nooks to penthouse suites, and there’s a big focus on Irish art in all its glory, both in the bedrooms and dotted throughout the premises.

If it’s sea views and strolls along the Salthill Prom you’re after, then Galway Bay Hotel is the one for you. Overlooking the bay with the Clare Hills beyond, this four-star coastal retreat is the perfect base to explore the Wild Atlantic Way. Relax in spacious, comfortable rooms, and savour locally inspired dishes in their award-winning on-site restaurants. Unwind in the leisure centre or indulge in luxury at the Blackrock Wellness Spa.
