No. 1 Pery Square Hotel & Spa

No. 1 Pery Square Hotel & Spa

Turf fires burn in the Drawing Room at No. 1 Pery Square while afternoon tea is served under original marble surrounds, a scene this 1830 Georgian terrace on Limerick's Pery Square has staged since owner Patricia Roberts bought the building in 2006. The hotel holds a Michelin Key for a second consecutive year, a distinction its Limerick competitors have not matched, and it shows in details most 20-room properties skip: an organic spa built into the vaulted basement, where VOYA seaweed treatments and an hour in the thermal suite are standard, and a kitchen sourcing most of its produce within ten miles of the door. Rooms spread across four floors, from Standard King Suites at 520 square feet down to compact Club Rooms at 194, most fitted with air conditioning, bathrobes and soundproofing. The Club King Room, also 194 square feet, is rated for up to four adults or three children, worth checking against family size before booking. Georgian Quarter views from the period rooms suit a couple slipping away for a quiet weekend more than anyone wanting the anonymity of a hotel with hundreds of rooms, though One Pery Square does host business meetings and private dining in its Georgian rooms when asked. Breakfast runs extra, between 13 and 17 euros, and an additional bed costs 65 euros a night, so read the rate details before assuming full board. Check-in opens at 4pm, checkout is noon, and pets stay elsewhere. What lingers after checkout is the vaulted spa: seaweed used in its treatments is repurposed as compost for a local vegetable farm, a small circularity that fits a hotel more interested in permanence than trend. A 20-room Georgian townhouse hotel in Limerick's Georgian Quarter, holding a Michelin Key for two years running, with a vaulted organic spa and food sourced within ten miles. Suits a couple wanting quiet over crowds, not those seeking anonymity in a large hotel. Breakfast and extra beds cost extra.
