Condé Nast Traveler has just announced the results of its annual 2023 Readers’ Choice Awards and Adare Manor is delighted to have retained the title of Best Resort in Europe for the second year in a row.
The Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards are the longest-running and most prestigious awards recognising excellence in the travel industry, celebrating the ultimate destinations on the planet. Running since 1998, these awards are voted on by hundreds of thousands of discerning world travellers, with nominations marked on a wide variety of criteria, including service, food and atmosphere.
Last year, Adare Manor scored higher than any other European resort to win the coveted title of Best Resort in Europe, and also Best Resort in the World, a resounding vote of appreciation and approval from Condé Nast Traveler readers. This year’s score is again the highest, confirming Adare Manor as the winner of this exceptional accolade for an unprecedented second year running.
“We are genuinely thrilled to be recognised as the Best Resort in Europe for the second time by Condé Nast Traveler,” says Brendan O’Connor, General Manager of Adare Manor, “and therefore by the most important people to all of us here at the resort — our guests. Being chosen as their absolute favourite resort in Europe by voters who have visited and experienced our ‘Beyond Everything’ approach to what we do is such a source of satisfaction and reward to all our team at Adare Manor. Being named Best Resort in Europe was a great honour and delight last year, but it’s almost more magical for us to be chosen for a second year in succession.
It is really gratifying to have our commitment to making sure every experience at Adare Manor is truly special rewarded with this win, whether you’re dropping into us from the village or from across the world. I would like to sincerely thank every member of our team at Adare Manor, across all departments at the resort. These awards recognise the best travel and hospitality experiences across our industry and I know that the professionalism and passion of each team member has contributed to this wonderful win.”
Adare Manor offers guests a unique experience, from Michelin-star dining in The Oak Room to playing the Tom Fazio-designed championship golf course, from the only 111SKIN Spa in Ireland to the lush 840-acre estate with its bounty of outdoor activities.
Since reopening its doors at the end of 2017, following an impressive multi-year renovation, Adare Manor has regularly won major industry recognition for its outstanding hospitality experience. Condé Nast Traveler awarded Adare Manor a spot on their Hot List in 2018 as one of the best new hotels in the world, and on the exclusive Gold List 2020 as one of the editors’ most loved properties. Last year, Adare Manor won Best Resort in the World and Best Resort in Europe at the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, as well as receiving a five-star rating by Forbes Travel Guide in 2023. Two years after reopening, The Oak Room at Adare Manor received a Michelin star, the first ever awarded in Limerick, and in 2027, the resort will be host venue to the Ryder Cup.
