 Miles before you arrive you can see the tower of Slieve Donard Hotel piercing the sky above the gorse-clad sand dunes of the Royal County Down golf course. Its only rival on the landscape are the dramatic Mourne Mountains above a golden sweep of beach.
The view is even more entrancing from your bedroom, as you discover one of Northern Ireland’s finest courses literally at you feet. Indoors, the hotel is equally impressive – an exceptional example of a hotel in the grand tradition.
The Slieve Donard is an hotel of luxury and prestige. Each guestroom is beautifully decorated and tastefully furnished to provide an environment, which draws guests back time and time again. Sink into an armchair in the cosy Library and admire the exquisite architectural detail. Or, after an 18 testing holes, recharge in the Elysium Health Club, and then relax in Chaplin's Bar. It was named after Charlie Chaplin who stayed at the hotel. No need to go out when you can choose from two fine restaurants, the informal Percy French Restaurant in the grounds of the hotel, or the Oak Restaurant, famed for its exquisite cuisine.
