The Malton, Killarney

Hotel Description

From its distinctive architecture to its effortless service and genuine hospitality, The Malton - formerly the Great Southern Hotel - has been a favourite retreat for over 150 years.

After warming yourself by the open fire in our entrance hall, ease into a soft velvet sofa and enjoy afternoon tea. We like to think time slows down just a little at The Malton. Enjoy the light as it streams through tall windows, ramble through our gardens, and rest for a while on a secluded bench. Where else are you going to find 6 acres of gardens in the centre of a bustling town? This is life at The Malton, a Victorian landmark, and one of Ireland’s most beautiful hotels since 1854.

After a restful night, you will be treated to our sumptuous breakfast. Everything from healthy options to the positively sinful is on offer. After breakfast, the day is yours, and there is no better place to set off for adventure. From here starts the iconic Ring of Kerry, taking you on a breathtaking tour of wild seas and rugged landscapes.

Golf in Kerry is the stuff of legend, with historic links courses like Ballybunion and Waterville rated among the top in the world. For the avid golfer, half a dozen championship courses mean you will never be short of a challenge.

Enjoy a day in nearby Killarney National Park, with its stunning woodlands, lakes, and mountains. Visit the Outlet Centre, where you can shop to your heart’s content, or ramble through the quaint town centre, full of boutiques, cafes and art galleries.

Or maybe you would rather stay in? Find a sunny window seat and lose yourself in a good book from our library. Or pass a whole afternoon in front of the fire – without once looking at your watch – sipping an afternoon drink and reading the paper.

Restaurants and Bars

The Malton’s classic Garden Room Restaurant showcases the best tastes of the Kerry countryside, all under the great gilded dome of our original stunning Victorian dining room. Enjoy warm baked bread from The Malton Bakery while our sommelier presents you the perfect bottle from our wine cellar. The menu features an exciting mix of traditional recipes artfully prepared with a modern twist. Head chef John O’Leary can often be seen on pilgrimage to local markets and farms, buying the freshest seasonal fruit and vegetables. These local specialities are highlighted on the menu. Some neighbourhood foods to look out for are Killorglin Gouda cheese, locally smoked ham, native seafood, Killarney honey, and local beef and pork - fully traceable to Kerry farmers.

The Garden Room Restaurant overlooks The Malton’s landscaped gardens, where you can enjoy our famous breakfast, or an absolutely elegant evening out. Peppers is The Malton’s à la carte restaurant, and offers a less formal setting than the Garden Room Restaurant. Peppers finds inspiration in classical dishes, skilfully infusing them with sunny, fresh Mediterranean flavours. The stylishly furnished dining room seems to glow with soft lighting, rich colours, and intelligent service. Always present is the easy, friendly manner of John Fitzgerald, Maitre d’ Hotel, who has spent the last 40 years welcoming guests and insuring a perfect evening.
