We found an ideal base for a weekend spent in the centre of Ireland, and they’ve got lots of seasonal packages so you can get the most out of your stay.

If you want a weekend away that’s all about relaxation and indulgence, consider Athlone, right at the heart of Ireland, for your staycation location. The Sheraton Athlone Hotel, the flagship Sheraton property in Ireland, offers everything you need for a memorable break this autumn or winter, whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a rejuvenating spa retreat, or a fun-filled weekend with friends.

Perfectly located in the centre of Athlone town and just minutes from bus and rail links, the hotel is an urban oasis boasting spectacular panoramic views of the Midlands. With elegant bedrooms, a 20-metre swimming pool, a state-of-the-art gym, and the tranquil Sirana Urban Spa, the Sheraton blends modern comfort with true Irish hospitality.

This season, their Fab Friday packages are a must, offering guests great value stays with added treats like cocktails and a two-course meal, making it the perfect way to kick off your weekend. For those looking to unwind at a gentler pace, the Active Retired breaks include complimentary activities like aqua aerobics, brown bread making, and wine tastings, perfect for a midweek escape with a touch of fun and culture.

If shopping is on your mind, you’ll be thrilled to find that the hotel is directly connected to Athlone Towncentre, home to top fashion brands. From Shaws, Zara, H&M and River Island to Fields, Next, Rituals and Penneys, hours can be lost browsing through the rails. After a day of retail therapy, unwind with an Elemis treatment or a delicious meal in La Provence Brasserie.

This luxurious four-star hotel is renowned for exceptional service, an award-winning spa, and a uniquely Irish welcome.

Sheraton Athlone Hotel is in the heart of Athlone’s vibrant town with luxury stays, spa escapes and more. Visit www.sheratonathlonehotel.com to browse their packages and book your stay.
