13 hotels and spas in Ireland are included in the 2025 Forbes Travel Guide, which was unveiled on Wednesday, February 12.
11 hotels and two spas won big praise in the annual list that rates winners on service, as well as quality and condition of facilities.
Beyond those metrics, Forbes Travel Guide said, "Inspectors assess the intangibles behind a truly remarkable guest experience: whether a property allows you to continue a health-conscious lifestyle and enhance your well-being; whether the location, design or other elements conjured a strong sense of place; and whether all that added up to a stay that was unforgettable."
This year, Ireland has three new entries on the prestigious list - two hotels and one spa.
