The Hotel

The Hoban Hotel has been revitalised following a near €1 million investment. Formerly known as the Aspect Hotel Kilkenny, the hotel is now named after James Hoban, a pioneering architect who was born in Kilkenny in 1755 and went on to design and build America’s White House. It has become a contemporary open plan space which is smart and comfortable while incorporating rich, deep colours paired with statement pieces like trendy light fixtures and bold patterns. Our 1801 Restaurant starts the morning off with a breakfast buffet that has something for everyone. We also serve brunch and lunch, offering the freshest and most sumptuous, sweet treats, salads, soups and sandwiches. We’ve put a lot of thought into our new menu where everything is freshly made and cooked to order and has been designed to satisfy every palette. We source local produce which is fully traceable. The Hoban Hotel Kilkenny is situated among a proud and rich heritage with some of the most popular tourist attractions in Ireland. Kilkenny City Centre offers and original and eclectic mix of designer labels, high street names and independent shops. You’ll never run out of things to do with so much on offer across Ireland’s ancient east.
