hotel obsession: carton house, a fairmont managed property

Once the home of Irish aristocrats, Carlton House makes you feel like royalty the second you step onto the 1,100-acre walled estate. Stay in the elegant garden wing or 18th-century manor house. Feast on 7-course dinners curated by Chef Charles Degrendele in the opulent Morrison Room. And follow in the footsteps of golfing greats on the hotel’s two championship courses, Montgomerie, with its challenging inland links, and O’Meara, which meanders through the property’s ancient woodlands.

As you step through the doors of this magnificent hotel where the old and new blend seamlessly together, you are taking a step back in time to experience the lives of the Irish aristocracy who once resided here. The original period details of the manor house merge harmoniously with the contemporary luxury touches one would expect to find from a luxury resort, perfectly paired with a warm Irish welcome to create an unforgettable guest experience.

Pause in time at Carton and enjoy a unique and inspiring experience.

This timeless Palladian mansion is set on 1,100 acres of sweeping Kildare parkland waiting for you to explore its history and heritage, its nature and wildlife, its flora and fauna. At Carton there is space. Whether you have come to indulge in spectacular cuisine, relax in the spa or celebrate one of life's special moments, you will leave with memories to last a lifetime or until your next visit.

Pro-tip: Schedule a whiskey tasting in the hotel’s Whiskey Library, where you’ll find an expansive selection of over 100 pot stills, malts, and bourbons from around the world.
