Built in 1732 as the Archbishop's Palace, Cashel Palace Hotel sits at the foot of the Rock of Cashel in Tipperary — a 5-star Palladian manor with a Michelin-starred restaurant, 50 rooms, and a Ballroom for up to 200 guests.
Cashel Palace is a five-star country house hotel in Cashel, County Tipperary, a restored Palladian manor dating from 1732 and a Relais & Châteaux property. It stands beside the Rock of Cashel, about a four-minute walk away, and has 42 individually designed bedrooms, three acres of gardens with lawns, ancient trees and modern planting, a spa with a swimming pool that runs from indoors to out, and the Michelin-starred Bishop's Buttery.
The Ballroom is the main wedding space and holds up to 200 guests. It divides into Suite A, which has its own bar and takes up to 140, and Suite B, which takes up to 40 guests or up to 100 for a civil ceremony. Smaller rooms suit more intimate days: the Buttery Restaurant for 50, Mikey Ryan's ground floor for 60 and its upper floor for 30, Donoghue's Traditional Bar for 60, the Orangery for 30, and the Secret Garden outdoors for 25 seated and 25 standing. Small weddings can be held with views of the Rock of Cashel or in the gardens. The celebration can carry into a second day, with a barbecue in the Secret Garden at Mikey Ryan's Bar & Kitchen or a private evening in Donoghue's, the hotel's traditional Irish pub. Winter weddings are offered on select dates in October, November, January, February and March, and the Events Team is fully committed for weddings in 2027.
