Set within the historic Powerscourt Estate in Enniskerry, this 5-star Autograph Collection hotel offers 198 rooms, a Ballroom for up to 400 guests, private access to the gardens after 5pm, and a 30,000 sq ft ESPA spa — 30 minutes from Dublin.
Powerscourt Hotel occupies a Palladian estate in the Wicklow Mountains, where the formal gardens — among the most celebrated in Europe — stretch away from the hotel's colonnaded facade towards the Great Sugarloaf and, beyond it, the Irish Sea. The hotel is part of the Marriott Autograph Collection and has 198 rooms ranging from standard suites to grand estate bedrooms, while its Ballroom — double-height, light-filled — seats up to 400 guests and is large enough for a first dance that fills the room.
What makes Powerscourt distinctive for weddings is the private access to the Powerscourt Gardens after 5pm: the walled garden, the ornamental ponds, and the terraced lawns become an extension of the celebration for evening photographs. The 30,000 sq ft ESPA spa with its Swarovski crystal-lit 20-metre pool, 20 treatment rooms, and thermal suite makes the hotel genuinely self-contained for a full weekend. Exclusive use is included in the venue hire, and each couple is assigned a personal wedding coordinator from the outset.
