01 - Arrive
The place itself
Park Hotel Kenmare stands on Kenmare Bay in County Kerry. The address is Kenmare, Co Kerry, V93 X3XY. They say the house has taken guests since 1897, first as a railway hotel for the southwest, and that Bryan and Tara Meehan run it now. They place it in Relais & Chateaux, and they display two Michelin Keys for 2025. A short walk reaches the town. They also name the Ring of Kerry, the Beara, and the Wild Atlantic Way as the roads outside. The restaurant is Landline, in the Sean Scully Room, looking at the bay, with a menu they build from the local harvest. The spa is called Landscape: a 25-metre lap pool, outdoor baths, sauna and steam, a gym, yoga and Pilates, and treatments by Susanne Kaufmann and Seabody. The grounds they describe include a herb garden, a croquet lawn, and tennis courts. Stained glass, they say, colours the view to the Caha Mountains. Rooms they name include an Artist's Studio, Classic Queen, Classic King, Family Terrace, Heritage Deluxe, Superior Bay View, Bay View Terrace Suite, Kenmare Bay Suite, Landscape Suite, and Kenmare Bay Balcony Suite.
