Adults Only Christmas Packages
The festive season is full of cheer, but it can also be a lot of work. The pressure to create the ‘perfect’ Christmas often involves weeks of planning, endless shopping trips and days spent in the kitchen.
If you’re looking for a way to enjoy all the best parts of Christmas without the usual stress, our adults-only residential stay at Hotel Kilkenny could be the perfect solution. It’s a chance for couples or friends to take a real break, put your feet up, and enjoy a peaceful, grown-up Christmas where everything is taken care of for you.
Below we’ll walk you through what’s included in our exclusive two-day package.




Why Choose an Adults-Only Christmas Break?
Choosing an adults-only getaway means you can enjoy the festive season in a completely different way. It’s not just about getting away from home; it’s about swapping festive chores for genuine relaxation.
Our adults only Christmas packages are all about creating a relaxed and memorable Christmas experience.
A Stress-Free Christmas
At Hotel Kilkenny, you’ll find a calm and comfortable setting to enjoy your Christmas.
It’s a chance to properly unwind and enjoy the season at your own pace, away from the usual hustle and bustle. Our focus is on creating a peaceful environment where you can relax, enjoy the festivities and recharge your batteries. It’s the perfect antidote to the often-hectic nature of a traditional Christmas.
All the Festive Fun, None of the Work
We’ll handle all the details. One of the best parts of a hotel stay is leaving the chores to someone else, and that’s never truer than at Christmas.
Our residential stay means you can enjoy the festive spirit without giving a single thought to peeling potatoes, basting a turkey or who’s doing the washing up. From the moment you check-in, our team is on hand to make sure you have everything you need. Your only job is to sit back, enjoy the great food and festive atmosphere and have a wonderful, stress-free Christmas.
A Great Base in a Festive City
While the hotel is a perfect festive bubble, our central location makes it easy to explore everything Kilkenny has to offer at Christmas. The city has a unique charm during the festive season.
You can take a walk through the decorated medieval streets, browse the stalls at the local Yulefest markets for last-minute gifts, or simply find a cosy pub to enjoy a pint or a hot port.

A Warm Welcome

For dinner on Christmas Eve, you can choose between the refined setting of our Taste Restaurant, or the more relaxed and cosy atmosphere of our new Rosehill 1831 Bar, which offers a more informal dining experience.


Festive Breakfast Each Morning
Your stay with us includes a full Irish breakfast each morning.. It’s one last chance to enjoy a hearty meal before you check out, feeling rested and ready for the rest of the festive season.
A Christmas Day To Remember
Wake up on Christmas morning to a full Irish breakfast at your leisure.
The main event is our special Christmas Day lunch in Taste Restaurant. This is a real highlight, a multi-course festive feast with all the trimmings.
During the meal, you’ll be treated to some light-hearted entertainment from one of Ireland’s finest magicians, Andy James. His sophisticated close-up magic is a great addition to the meal and always goes down well with our guests.
For dinner that evening, you once again have the choice of dining in either Taste Restaurant or the Rosehill 1831 Bar for a more casual bite to eat.


Extend Your Stay
If you’re not quite ready for the magic to end, longer stays are always available.
An extra day or two gives you more time to use our leisure facilities, see more of Kilkenny’s historic sights, or just relax in our stylish 4-Star facilities. If you’re interested in a longer stay, just let our team know when you book.
