About The g Hotel spa
The magnificent g Hotel Spa opened to great fanfare in November 2005. Situated on the banks of Lough Atalia and just five minutes from the centre of one of Europe’s most vibrant and popular cities, to this day it remains the only luxurious, 5-star experience in this iconic city.
One of the many jaw-dropping features in our Grand Salon is the incredible mirrored lighting display, these 200 individual twinkling lights are designed to represent a burst of water bubbles. Behind it, sits a huge shimmering silver wall tile feature, reminiscent of the patterns seen in sand left by ripples of the water. However, it is not just the look of The g Hotel Spa that has set us apart since we opened, The GEO is an AA Rosette-winning restaurant experience that celebrates the finest locally-sourced food, delivered by an exceptional team of enthusiastic service staff.
