I booked the Montenotte Hotel for one night to celebrate our 8th wedding Anniversary, the best decision I ever made. From check in to check out we had a magical stay. Considering this was just over a week after restrictions were lifted re. Covid 19 the staff were so well trained and retained the most incredible professionalism throughout the hotel. From the moment we checked in we were made to feel welcome, the girl who checked us in was a joy, any questions we had she had the answer to. The room was glorious but the dining experience was even better. Again the staff were fantastic, the food was so good my Wife wants to Marry the Chef and said so to our server. Breakfast was so well organised and so tasty, I need say no more except 10 out of 10. I didn't even get to mention the gardens, Wow just go for lunch and walk around this idyllic setting. Beautiful Hotel, Fantastic Staff, Incredible Food and Stunning surrounds.

Hotel is close enough to city centre to walk (downhill) to the city, but yet far enough away to be very peaceful with great views. Staff are super friendly. Stayed in a suite (self catering apartment). Excellent as flexibility to have breakfast in suite (nice shop 5 mins walk away at St. Luke’s) and then lunch or dinner in hotel. Suite very cosy and comfortable. Great alternative to city centre hotel and much better experience. Imagine would be great if you have children as extensive gardens with spectacular views.

My husband and I live in Cork and slipped away up the hill to the Montenotte for a Valentine treat. And what a treat! The food was superb at dinner, with a splendid view and exemplary service. Our rose-petaled bed, chocolates in the room, and Prosecco on arrival in front of the lobby fireplace were icing on the cake. And the cake was a superior, quiet room with walk-in shower and lovely decor. To top it off, breakfast in bed the next day was sublime! All staff were friendly and helpful and entered into the celebratory mood. The Montenotte’s reputation is well-deserved. Hoping to make this a yearly romantic tradition!

Extremely helpful and friendly staff on reception and also in the bar. They gave great recommendations and directions for an evening in the city. There was a very nice selection of cold food buffet at breakfast however I was unimpressed with the hot food selection which was not restocked, and found the scrambled eggs inedible. The room was nice, clean and comfortable however it was a huge hike from reception up and down stairs which was a pain, especially when my keycard didn't work three times(!). The pool and leisure facilities were nice and all in all I enjoyed my stay

Our stay in the Montenotte Hotel was perfect. My flight was delayed a few hours and when I eventually checked in (a few hours later than I had informed the hotel) the friendly staff were on hand to check us in and our room can complete with complientary rose petals in our room. It is situated in a nice location and not too far a walk from the city centre (albeit an uphill walk) providing you don't get lost like I did - though that was through my own fault of not paying attention to directions! The view from the bar is spectacular - especially at night - and really relaxing too. We also had a late lunch and the food was perfect. Only fault I found was I never booked in to stay long enough. Perfect for a quiet and relaxing weekend away - just what we needed!

I was very happy with our stay at the montenotte hotel. We were checking in late and due to this i requested to check out late and the manager offered this to me free of charge, it is the small gestures like this that would make me think of staying at the hotel again. We did not get to use the pool as we were very tired due to our late flight...which was disappointing as i always like to see what these type of facilities are like. Also, i found the bar staff, especially one young guy, to be very friendly and helpful. Also...the general decor but esp the paintings around the hotel are georgous :)

My husband and I stayed at your hotel recently and found everything to our satisfaction - rooms clean, staff pleasant etc. My husband is of the opinion that the reception staff gave the impression of total disinterest in their visitors and I would agree that the young lady on the desk would give a much better impression of the hotel if she affected an interest in the comings and going of the residents. We found the food fine but I would add that the dining area, especially the seating and floor, tended to look as if a class of young children (not housetrained) had recently eaten when we came down for breakfast. All in all, we had a happy enough few days in the Cork area and would return again - especially as we booked the night before on impulse through lastminute.com.

The hotel itself was as expected. However we thought that all of the staff were fantastic and extremely helpful especially since they were so busy with the Cork Jazz Festival. For breakfast it would be nicer if there was more hot food available for vegetarians such as mushrooms and tomatoes. I did see that some people ordered these but as it was so busy this took quite some time so it would be better if a small amount of these was available in the same way as the sausages etc.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Montenotte. It was close enough for walking to the city cente, the accommodation was of a high standard but more so the welcome. A few small details were taken care of without fuss, the food was to a very high standard and the bar had a lovely atmosphere. The toilet flushing mechanism was not easy to use, which was the only flaw. The staff were well trained friendly and chatty, from the reception to the dining room ( I know more about Hungarian poetry now !) and to the bar ( a short lesson on making Irish coffee would make it perfect). We can certainly recommend the Montenotte as an excellent choice for price, location and atmosphere. The musicians of the night were accomplished and worthy of praise also. Paddy & Marcella.

SCULPTURE EXHIBITION

Yes… the largest Sculpture Exhibition in Ireland is now open at The Montenotte Hotel

By Ray Kelleher – Director of Sales & Marketing

A stunning Sculpture Exhibition has been installed at our hotel this week, here at The Montenotte Hotel, in the sunken Victorian Gardens and will be on-site for the next four weeks, in association with the prestigious amazing The Kildare Gallery.

In keeping with our company’s commitment to support Irish art and culture, 38 sculptures by 18 Irish artists, including Bob Quinn, Stephanie Hess and Donnacha Cahill have now adorned the gardens. The works range in themes, scale and materials including ceramic, bronze, bog oak and copper steel.

With so many events, including showcase events like Bloom, cancelled, our exhibition is now the largest outdoor exhibition of its kind in Ireland this year!

We now encourage as many locals and visitors as possible to visit the Sculpture Exhibition and wander around the wonder of these secret gardens, which were only recently rediscovered and restored to their former glory of 100 years ago. Your body and mind will truly relax as you peruse the art, breathe in the aromatic scents of lavender, myrtle and rosemary, and listen to the soothing sounds of the water fountain.

You can also take in the spectacular views of the exhibition, Victorian Gardens and Cork city from a high from the recently refurbished Panorama Terrace. We just ask that you pop to the hotel reception and register your details to gain access.

For myself, I am only just with the hotel less than 2 weeks and there is no doubt that this is one of Ireland’s most instragrammable hotels and the sculpture exhibition enhances this.

We hosted a press call to launch the exhibition with the Lord Mayor Cllr Joe Kavanagh and the Lady Mayoress Stephanie this week and our General Manager Brian Bowler commented , “We are delighted to host such a magnificent Sculpture Exhibition in association with the Kildare Gallery, after a hugely successful inaugural event in 2019. It’s part of our ongoing ethos to support Irish artists, and it has never been more important to do, as the arts community has been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic. To see these incredible sculptures against the backdrop of our re-discovered sunken Victorian gardens is a stunning sight to behold”.

It was also great to meet Ruth Liddle from the Kildare Gallery who is the curator of the exhibition. I feel my artistic knowledge has grown since I arrived at The Montenotte Hotel.

The Sculpture Exhibition will run until September 26th. All of the pieces are available to purchase with The Kildare Gallery and for more information about visiting the exhibition see here.

FIFI'S FOOD BLOG REVIEW

MY MONTENOTTE EXPERIENCE

This Saturday, on February 1st, I ventured down to Cork for a weekend break in the picturesque and beautifully modern, Montenotte Hotel.
As they say, January is the only month with twice as many days as the rest. Maybe it’s the post-Christmas, back to reality, dark at 4pm aspect, but January really does drag. The first day of Spring was the perfect time for a trip away. Matt drove and we arrived to check-in at 2pm, bringing the total journey time to just under 3 hours.

As always, if anyone has any questions regarding the stay, please do let me know. I am always happy to answer!
All my foodie love,
Fifi
