Here come the girls.
Some trips are about sightseeing. Others are about switching off. A girls getaway is something entirely different. It is about late night chats that stretch into the early hours, getting ready together with music playing in the background, sharing stories over cocktails, and enjoying the rare luxury of uninterrupted time with friends. The destination matters, but the hotel you choose shapes the entire experience.
At The Hoban Hotel in Kilkenny, we understand exactly what makes these trips so meaningful. Our hotel offers a welcoming, stylish environment where groups of friends can relax in comfort while enjoying everything this vibrant city has to offer. From beautifully designed rooms to memorable dining experiences, every element of a stay is designed to support moments that matter most. This is why so many guests choose The Hoban Hotel as their preferred base for girls getaways.
Comfort That Sets the Tone
Every great trip begins with a sense of ease, and comfort plays a central role in shaping the entire experience. Stepping into a space that feels calm, modern, and inviting immediately signals the start of a well deserved break.
At The Hoban Hotel, our recently refurbished rooms provide exactly that feeling. The spacious layouts are ideal for sharing, offering enough room for friends to relax without ever feeling crowded. Soft textures, contemporary design, and thoughtful details create an atmosphere that feels both stylish and restful. After a day spent exploring Kilkenny or an evening enjoying the city’s social scene, returning to a peaceful room provides the perfect balance between energy and relaxation.
Beyond aesthetics, it is the overall feeling of comfort that guests often remember most. The ability to unwind, chat late into the night, and wake refreshed sets the tone for the entire getaway.
Dining, Conversations, and Cocktails
Food has a way of bringing people together, and during a girls getaway, dining often becomes one of the most cherished parts of the stay. It is where stories are shared, laughter flows freely, and plans for the next adventure take shape.
The 1801 Restaurant & Bar offers an experience perfectly suited to these occasions. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, allowing groups to settle in comfortably and enjoy each other’s company. Meals become more than just dining. They become part of the memory, part of the experience.
Our menus are thoughtfully curated, offering a variety of dishes crafted from quality ingredients. Each choice is designed to satisfy different tastes while encouraging that wonderful ritual of sharing and sampling. Conversations linger, glasses are raised, and time seems to slow in the most enjoyable way.
And of course, no girls getaway feels complete without cocktails. From timeless classics to creative blends, each drink adds a touch of indulgence to the evening. These small luxuries often become the moments guests talk about long after their stay.
