The g Hotel

Located about five minutes drive from Galway city centre, this contemporary hotel positively engages the guest on so many levels. The public areas are designed specifically for 'café life': great conversation, relaxing, or just having a cup of tea; yet at the same time they create the perfect stage for business deals to close or young couples popping the big question. This theatre-like atmosphere carries throughout to the acclaimed Riva Restaurant, with its sophisticated Italian cuisine set in a truly cosmopolitan romantic setting, or to the luxurious top floor ESPA at the g spa.

The 101 bedrooms are original, yet supremely comfortable without being overpowering. Like the rest of the hotel, colour is used with enormous creativity and combines with textures and material inspired by the landscape of County Galway. The g isn't only about fabulous design, however, for the true mark of excellence in any hotel is how are you treated, and at The g, each staff member from bellman to barman goes out of their way make you feel special.

Graced with a beautiful seaside location, and close access to the extraordinary Connemara and The Burren scenery, vibrant Galway is a great base for touring spectacular northwest Ireland.
