Forbes’ Travel Guide – the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, and spas, and creator of the original five-star luxury hotel rating system – has awarded a five-star rating to Adare Manor in County Limerick.
Ireland’s leading manor resort, and host of the 2027 Ryder Cup, secured the five-star accolade following strict evaluation on over 500 rigorous standards. These test the resort on multiple criteria from distinctive dining experiences to luxurious beds, intuitive guest care and supreme service.
In compiling the prestigious annual list, Forbes Travel Guide’s skilled inspectors visit each venue in person, anonymously as a typical guest, evaluating experiences based on this strict set of criteria.
Over 2,000 properties are evaluated with only the very best being awarded the five-star rating. Forbes Travel Guide is the oldest travel guide in the US and its inspection process is regarded as the gold standard in hospitality.
The award was welcomed by the hotel management as a “profound endorsement of the Adare Manor experience and the passion and commitment of our staff”.
