History
The Hardiman overlooks Eyre Square in the heart of Galway city and is among Ireland's most historic hotels. The building was constructed in 1852 as the Railway Hotel, serving travellers arriving at the adjacent railway station, and over its long life it has also been known as the Great Southern Hotel and then The Meyrick.
Now trading as The Hardiman, part of the Ascend Hotel Collection, it is named for the Galway historian James Hardiman and offers 105 bedrooms across several categories. Its grand public rooms, restored in 2019, evoke the hotel's Victorian heyday.
