A hotel with a long and distinguished history, the Slieve Donard Resort and Spa celebrated its centenary as a hotel in 1997. Located at the foot of the scenic Mountains of Mourne, which have been immortalised in verse by Percy French, the Slieve Donard Hotel stands on 6 acres of private grounds directly beside the world-renowned Royal County Down golf links. The picture from the top of the 9th hole on Royal Co. Down, from where the hotel is literally no more than a good 8-iron from the first tee, looking past the spire of the Resort towards the mysterious Mourne Mountains is one of the most famous in golf.

Following a superb refurbishment and extension program towards the latter end of 2006, the Slieve Donard has now taken its place amongst the finest hotels of its kind in teh country. Whilst you can still enjoy the unique Victorian features that this one hundred and ten year old property has to offer including the magnificent chandeliers and aged oak panelling, it now boasts one of the most luxurious Spa facilities in the country. The Active Floor of the Spa incorporates a 20 metre swimming pool, vitality pools, lifestyle showers and extensive exercise facilities as well as the Lighthouse Lounge for contemporary healthy dining and the Horizon Juice Bar for those looking that necessary energy boost. The first floor Treatment Floor comprises 16 treatment rooms offering a full range of golfers massages and treatments, rock saunas, amethyst steam rooms and vitality pools as well as relaxation rooms with ergonomically designed loungers, and a finishing touches studio. This really is one of the most comprehensive facilities of its kind to be found anywhere.

An intrinsic element of the refurbishment not only saw all existing bedrooms in the hotel receiving a complete upgrade but also the construction of 56 new Resort bedrooms and 4 new Resort Suites. These rooms are the epitome of luxury, no detail has been spared in finish and quality and they are an absolute must for any golfer wishing to experience the pinnacle of comfort. A range of dining is available at the hotel with either the traditional Oak or the atmospheric Percy French Inn beautifully complimenting the contemporary Lighthouse Lounge.
