The Hotel

A relaxation oasis with four-star facilities, Osprey Hotel and Spa makes for a great place to take a break from hectic urban life. Quirky design details, leisure club and spa, conference facilities and elegant restaurant - this hotel has it all, just a mere half-an-hour-drive from Dublin.

The bedrooms feature custom furnishings and all that is needed for a fuss-free stay: flat-screen TVs, safes, desks, sitting areas, and hot drink-making provisions. The private bathrooms come complete with spacious tubs and free-standing rain showers.

Whether it is a business dinner, family gathering or romantic date, Herald & Devoy offers a great variety of seasonal ingredients crafted into a culinary feast, taking dietary requirements into consideration. Diners can also opt for afternoon tea or treat themselves to a cocktail or two.

The Osprey Spa was designed by architect Hugh Wallace, best known from RTE’s Home of the Year programme. The 10,000 square foot space includes six individual treatment rooms, a couples’ treatment room, light and dark relaxation rooms, nail bar, three pedicure stations and dedicated beauty rooms for waxing, tinting, and tanning. Visitors can also indulge in the rain shower, salt grotto, seaweed baths, rasul chamber, and relaxation beds. The spa is partnered with Irish beauty brand VOYA and skincare brand Dermalogica.
