The March Hideaway Report follows Andrew Harper's travels through Ireland, where he finds two new luxury hotels to recommend, included below. Mr. Harper also discovers a splendid new luxury hotel in Paris, France.
Shanagarry, County Cork, Ireland
Ballymaloe House, a gastronomic hotel in a charming country house with a vine-clad façade, is located east of Cork near a lovely part of the coast. Home of the Irish food revolution, Ballymaloe’s dining room serves gourmet, seasonally inspired multicourse meals.
Dublin, Ireland
This sophisticated city hotel is ideally located in the heart of Dublin, right off of bustling Grafton Street and its myriad shops and restaurants. The Westbury's two new restaurants include the more formal WILDE for seasonal Irish cuisine and, downstairs, the lively Balfes for more casual fare; stylish Sidecar Bar has a staff of expert mixologists for evening rendezvous.
Saint-Germain-des-Pres, Paris, France
Opened in January 2016, Le Saint-Hôtel à Paris is a comfortable city hotel ideally located in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Owned by famous decorator Bertrand Plasmans, the 54-room Le Saint-Hôtel à Paris was created by combining three former hotels on the site.
