THE MANOR

AT MOUNT JULIET REIMAGINED

In 1757, the first Earl of Carrick built a grand Georgian residence for his wife, Juliet Butler. Set above the River Nore and framed by parkland, the Manor at Mount Juliet Estate became a symbol of elegant Irish country living. More than two and a half centuries later, it begins its next chapter.

THE MANOR RESTORED

On March 14th, 2026, Mount Juliet Estate’s historic Manor country house hotel in Kilkenny reopened its doors after undergoing a thoughtful restoration to its original 1757 grandeur. The redesign honours its Georgian legacy while elevating every room to meet the expectations of today’s most discerning guests at heritage hotel in Ireland. Steeped in history yet styled for the modern traveller, the Manor is a celebration of timeless luxury, elegant design, and authentic Irish heritage.

Following its redesign, the Manor now pairs this unique charm with generous King beds, sumptuous fabric drapery and upholstery in fresh patterns and colour palettes, modern bathrooms with soaking tubs, and other thoughtful amenities that enhance comfort without distracting from the elegant setting. Far from feeling formal or old-fashioned, the Mount Juliet Manor experience is relaxed, welcoming and indulgent, offering guests the romance of a country house stay delivered with modern 5-star designs and standards.
