We’re delighted to share that The Montenotte has been featured in Country Living’s latest travel piece, written by Wanda Sachs, “I Spent 48 Hours in Cork – and Fell for Ireland’s Rising Star.”

In the article, Cork is celebrated as Ireland’s next must-visit destination – a city “quietly transforming into Ireland’s next great destination,” where creativity, culture, and modern luxury meet along the River Lee. Named one of National Geographic’s 25 Best Places in the World to Visit in 2025, Cork’s renaissance is brought to life through its thriving arts scene, historic charm, and a growing collection of world-class experiences.

Among these, Country Living highlights The Montenotte as “a hillside hotel perched on the former site of a Merchant Prince’s residence above the city and the River Lee,” applauding its role in redefining Irish luxury. The piece celebrates the hotel’s evolution and the debut of The Woodland Suite Experience, a secluded haven nestled in nature yet moments from the heart of the city.

Described as “five-star suites that redefine what luxury looks like on Irish soil,” the feature paints a picture of elegant minimalism and serene design — freestanding baths overlooking forest views, floor-to-ceiling windows, and Japanese-inspired tranquility. Guests also enjoy exclusive access to The Clubhouse, a private dining and lounge space for breakfast and cocktails, alongside The Montenotte’s award-winning spa, cinema, and panoramic restaurant.

As Country Living beautifully puts it, Cork offers “indulgence, adventure and a generous measure of Irish warmth,” and we couldn’t agree more.

We are proud to represent Cork on this global stage and honoured to be part of the city’s exciting new chapter.
