Butler House

Frommer's Review

Built in 1770 by the 16th earl of Ormonde as an integral part of Kilkenny Castle, this elegant building with a series of conical rooftops has a front door facing busy Patrick Street and a backyard overlooking secluded 17th-century-style gardens. Converted into a guesthouse more than 20 years ago, it has a sweeping staircase, marble fireplaces, and modern guest rooms with peaceful views, big bathrooms, and neutral color schemes with vivid splashes of bright color.

Facilities:
Restaurant (international); bar; babysitting
