But guests paying top dollar at The Montenotte’s new Woodland Suites will enjoy a unique experience, the first of its kind to open in Ireland.

Launching in August 2024, the nine new Woodland Suites and River Suites, as well as an exclusive residents-only Clubhouse, will set a new standard for luxury accommodation in Ireland.

Each remarkable suite is nestled within the natural beauty of the Irish landscape and elegantly perched on the hilltop, with stunning views overlooking the River Lee, Cork Harbour, and Cork City.

With an investment of over €7.5 million, the suites come complete with Italian travertine and oak timber floor finishes, expansive and beautifully detailed bathrooms, view focused free-standing baths, exquisite furnishings throughout, and exclusive private terraces.

Lovingly designed by Frankie and Jo Whelehan, owners of The Montenotte, together with renowned Irish architecture practice, Henry J Lyons and Dublin-based, award-winning Interior Design House Kingston Lafferty Design, the design of the suites will encourage guests to immerse themselves in nature and take in the surrounding woodlands.

“With the highly anticipated launch of the Clubhouse, the Woodland Suites and River Suites, we have put much thought into crafting this new haven and consideration on how we want to contribute to our local community as we move forward as not just an urban resort, but an urban resort with integrity.” the owners told us.

Frits Potgieter, General Manager of The Montenotte, says: “The Woodland Suite Experience is an important milestone in our journey to create a truly unique Urban Resort in Ireland that transcends the ordinary and invites our guests to step into a world of rebellious luxury at The Montenotte.

“Here, the concept of running wild is not only encouraged but very much celebrated. With the launch of the Woodland Suites and River Suites we aim to cultivate an environment where guests are not just pampered but also inspired to embrace a true sense of wanderlust, take in the incredible natural surroundings, magnificent views, and indulge in a myriad of curated experiences available throughout their stay.”

For every stay at the Woodland and River Suites, the hotel pledges to plant a tree with its Nights-for-Nature initiative.
