Powerscourt Hotel, Autograph Collection

The Ritz-Carlton Powerscourt , County Wicklow lies 15 miles outside Dublin on 1,000-acre Powerscourt Estate. While the estate dates to the twelfth century, the hotel dates to October 2007 when its neo-Palladian structure opened to complement one of Ireland's most scenic and historic attractions.

Inside, Georgian influences blend in graciously with the heights of modern hotel comfort. For planners, a showroom previews banquet options, while specially designed cargo bays, lighting, audiovisuals, and wireless communications handle twenty-first century requirements in the ballroom and meeting salons. Groups can also gather in a “secret” garden and at Powerscourt House, the eighteenth-century manor at the estate's historic heart.
