Trident Hotel
The Trident Hotel is one of the most spectacularly located Hotels in Kinsale, Co. Cork. Awake to the gentle mists of rain on the window, throw open the drapes to behold fishing boats pushing off for a days work. Trident Hotel commands a gull's eye vantage over the harbour, yet is just five minutes stroll to the Kinsale's historic town centre.
The Trident Hotel is a fresh, contemporary four star hotel that remains firmly connected in its splendid setting and historic character, The main hotel was originally built in the 1960's as a hotel for deep sea anglers. And the oldest part of the building, now housing the Trident's award-winning Savannah Waterfront Restaurant and Wharf Pub, is more than 400 years old, was a warehouse that served this working harbour for some 400 years.

The Trident's Wharf Tavern is full of character and charm: part traditional Irish pub, part sailing vessel. Designed by a local yacht designer, the pub retains elements of an old sailing ship; complete with portholes, beam ceiling and rope-wound galleon masts. The Wharf's coziness cannot be denied. The Wharf is a classic Irish pub, all things to all people: cafe serving fair trade coffee, eater serving Carvery lunches and bistro dinners, and live music venue, with a mix of Traditional music, Cabaret and Jazz. (Regular jazz sessions are on Saturdays, ballads and trads on Mondays)If you get the weather for it, the Wharf's sheltered terrace is a fabulous place to unwind.
Of course the charms of Kinsale are world famous and need little elaboration. Suffice to say Kinsale is a quintessential Irish village, chock full of history and charm, photogenic to a fault, with cute colourful shops, cafes and restaurants lining every street. Kinsale, the gourmet capital of Ireland, is the place to be for relaxation. No better place for it than the Trident.
