About us
Welcome to The Brehon, where hospitality isn’t just a tradition—it’s a way of life, deeply rooted in our heritage.
Named after the ancient Brehon Laws that governed Erin centuries ago, our hotel embodies the spirit of generosity and warmth that has endured through the ages.
The Brehon was designed with respect for our heritage and place while creating a new hospitality offering in our native Killarney at the beginning of the new millennia. Harnessing our industry knowledge and experience, we began to imagine and design a brand-new hotel. We continue to evolve and develop with our guests in mind.
We drew inspiration from Killarney’s spectacular landscape and history, as well as from the town’s age-old tradition of welcoming visitors. The classical detailing of Killarney’s stately home, Muckross House, inspired the exterior of the hotel.
Inside, the dappled light and rich green hues of Killarney’s ancient oak forests influenced the décor.
In 2004, we welcomed our first guests. In the years since, we have evolved by listening to and learning from our customers. At our core is the belief that it is not enough for our hotel to be located in one of the most beautiful places on earth, it must be worthy of its surroundings.
This was our intention and now it is our reality.
