Our round up of January hotel breaks in Ireland

By Shane O Leary, 11th January 2012

You might be feeling the pinch in your pocket this January, but we all need a little pick me up at the start of the year, and January is the time when most hotels offer great deals to entice guests. From free nights to spa deals, many 3,4 and 5 star hotels are trying to fill their beds, so there’s actually no better time to take a break in Ireland. We've done some sleuthing and come up with quite a lot. So here are some of the best January hotel deals in Ireland we could find.


The Strand Hotel, Limerick

The Limerick hotel, proudly overlooking the River Shannon, is offering rooms for only €75 per room for the month of January, along with a complimentary upgrade to an executive bedroom. The offer is based on two people sharing, (room only). This would also be great for those venturing down for a rugby game, as The Strand is very near Thomond Park. The Strand is also offering one month free on a twelve month membership to their Energize Health Club to kickstart the year.

Clarion Hotel, Limerick

Ireland’s tallest hotel, the Clarion Limerick plays host to the fabulous Kudos restaurant, and is right in the middle of the Treaty City. For January, they are offering an overnight stay and a four course meal for two, all for only €99 per room, per night.
