Hotel Guide to Limerick

When seeking accommodation in Limerick, guests can expect to pay a premium for riverfront views and centrally located hotels. Downtown hotels may charge extra for parking, a consideration for visitors with a Limerick car hire. Many hotels offer free WiFi.

There are several options for well-heeled travellers looking for luxury hotels, many of which offer splendid views of the River Shannon. Guests should inquire directly with the hotel about parking, as most room charges do not include free parking. The Clarion Hotel in Steamboat Quay on the waterfront is the tallest hotel in Ireland and the second tallest building in County Limerick. The Absolute Hotel and Spa on Sir Harry's Mall, King's Island, features rooms filled with handmade furniture and fine artwork. The Limerick Strand Hotel on Ennis Road across the river from the city centre is within walking distance of Thomond Park.

In the moderate price range, Maldron Hotel & Leisure Club Limerick is located outside the city core on the Southern Ring Road near the Crescent Shopping Centre. Meanwhile, Best Western Pery's Hotel on centrally located Glentworth Street is within walking distance of King's Island and other favourite attractions. Both of these hotels pair nicely with car hire in Limerick City, as they feature complimentary guest parking.

Budget accommodation can be found at two locations of the Travelodge. The Limerick Castletroy Hotel is a few kilometres to the east of the city on Dublin Street, and the price of a room includes secure underground parking. Limerick University Concert Hall and Sports Arena as well as the enormous Castletroy Shopping Centre are within walking distance. The Eddie Rockets Travelodge Limerick Ennis Road location, also with free parking, is mere metres away from Europcar's Limerick City depot.
