Welcome to Glendalough Valley in the heart of Ireland’s Ancient East

Surrounded by the valley of Glendalough in County Wicklow, the Glendalough Hotel is the only hotel in Glendalough and has been in the valley since the 1830s.

 

This family-run 3-Star hotel offers simple comforts surrounded by stunning scenery in a traditional Irish Hotel. 

The Glendalough Hotel is located on 2 acres and is literally steps from world-renowned Monastic City where you will find the majestic, St Kevin’s Tower, we are the only hotel in Glendalough.

There are many reasons to visit Glendalough, the valley is popular for hikes like the Wicklow Way, and there are gentle walks down to the two lakes, the upper and lower lakes in Glendalough, from the hotel. The Monastic City was located here for the peace and tranquility that surrounds it, visitors come from all over the world to attend spiritual retreats at the Monastic site organised by the many retreat centres located near the hotel and many stay with us.  

Winter break’s are filled with changing colours. Photographers delight in the range of scenes, from hills to valleys, lakesides and forests, during this peaceful time of year there are many special moments visited by wildlife in the valley including deer, wild goats and red squirrels.  

Those with an interest in geography can enjoy the vista and trace the history of the valley through its geology. There is a lot to learn and see in the landscapes of County Wicklow, known by many as, “The Garden of Ireland”. Ireland is full of mythical stories, with stones, ruins and markings on our landscapes that tell stories, Glendalough is central to these stories at the heart of Ireland’s Ancient East.
