The Ambassador Hotel is located close to the centre of vibrant Cork city. The hotel exudes luxury and elegance and this is apparent as soon as you walk through the doors. It sits on quiet grounds overlooking some breathtaking views of Cork city, the River Lee and harbour.

The hotel was built in 1872 and was previously a Military Hospital and then occupied as a nursing home. Since it first opened its doors as a charming hotel in 1997, it has become a very popular place to stay.

This Victorian hotel has a restaurant and two popular bars to choose from. It also has a Health Centre with a fully equipped Gym, Jacuzzi, Steam Room and Sauna.

It is a really nice hotel, if a little pricey compared to some of the others we stayed in over the course of our holiday.

For a hotel of this standard I would expect that each room would have a small fridge. Otherwise we liked the hotel
