Adare Manor
Adare, Ireland · Independent · Apex Luxury
Adare Manor is a Gothic Revival house on the River Maigue built over thirty years, from 1832 to 1862, for the 2nd Earl of Dunraven. Augustus Pugin contributed the hall ceiling, staircase, and gallery in 1846, part of a design program that produced a manor with 365 windows. JP McManus bought the estate in 2014, and it reopened in 2017 after a restoration that brought the house back into use as a hotel of 104 rooms. Its restaurant, The Oak Room, holds one Michelin star, and the Tom Fazio-redesigned Hawk's Nest golf course will host the 2027 Ryder Cup.
