Cork International Hotel Review
Located 15 minutes' drive from the city Cork Public Museum, the stylish Cork International Hotel offers modern comforts such as a cash machine and a lift. Featuring 83 rooms with views of the surrounding countryside, the 4-star luxurious hotel is a 15-minute ride from the huge stage "Cork Opera House".
A free breakfast is served daily at the International Cork. Enjoy whiskies and beers in the bistro bar of this stylish accommodation. It features an Art Deco design.
The property enjoys a convenient location near a wildlife park. The area includes such religious sights as the 18th-century working Shandon Steeple Church (6 km) and Saints Peter and Paul's Church (7 km).
This Cork hotel is also not very far from Cork Airport Business Park. Guests can easily get in touch with the history of Cork by visiting the star-shaped 17th-century Elizabeth Fort, located 6 km from Cork International Hotel.
Each of the air-conditioned rooms has a terrace and a dining place, and some feature a comfortable interior. They offer such nice touches as sound-proofed windows, along with a writing desk, and carpeted flooring. Providing a separate toilet and a shower, the bathrooms are also appointed with hair dryers and slippers.
For those travelling from afar, Cork airport is 5 minutes' drive away.
At the International, guests can also benefit from fitness classes provided at a fitness room. There is a conference space and meeting rooms with laptop computers and a xerox available on site.
