It’s a festive chore you can’t avoid.

But if the thought of wrapping all those gifts for under the tree is looming over you like Scrooge this year, one Cork hotel has come up with a clever way to make the whole process more fun.

Over on Camden Quay, Moxy Cork, is inviting guests to take the stress out of the season with its ‘All Wrapped Up’ pre-Christmas staycation.

The city hotel is the ideal hub for completing your holiday shopping (it’s just a hop over the bridge to all the high-street shops, independent boutiques, and iconic destinations like the English Market) but what sets this staycation apart is Moxy’s unique approach to easing the festive frenzy: guests can wrap all their Christmas gifts in a stress-free, interruption-free setting, free from prying eyes.

After checking in and enjoying a complimentary welcome cocktail, you can unwind in a sleek and comfortable room before diving into your shopping.

The hotel has set up a fun complimentary gift wrapping station in the foyer, stocked with premium wrapping paper, ribbons, bows, scissors, and tape.

It’s ideal for getting everything wrapped for Santa so the mystery is intact on Christmas morning.

An overnight stay (room only) starts from €149 if you want to add a little magic to your Christmas organising.
