Recognition Powered by Real Guests
Unlike many hospitality awards, Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards are determined entirely by guest reviews and ratings collected over a 12 month period.
Millions of travellers share their experiences on the platform each year, with rankings reflecting the quality, consistency and service delivered by hotels across the globe. Tripadvisor’s coveted Best of the Best distinction is reserved for fewer than 1% of its hotel listings worldwide, making it one of the most prestigious guest-voted accolades in travel.
For travellers, the awards provide a trusted guide to hotels that consistently exceed expectations. For hotels, they serve as a direct reflection of guest satisfaction.

As the only 5 star hotel located within Killarney National Park,
Muckross Park Hotel & Spa has welcomed guests for more than 200 years and remains one of Kerry’s best-known luxury destinations.

Its location places guests just moments from Muckross House, Torc Waterfall and the lakes of Killarney, making it a popular choice for both international visitors and Irish staycationers.
