See Ireland's Most Breathtaking Castle Hotels

As you spend the weekend figuring out just how you want to celebrate Lá Fhéile Pádraig, or St Patrick's Day as we know it here in the U.S., take a few minutes to get inspired by Ireland's most impressive castle hotels. Ranging from intimate manor houses in beautiful County Clare to five-star abodes offering butler service, these former manors and family homes are a welcome change from the drunken parades and four-leaf clover hats usually associated with the holiday.
