Here's what it's like inside the fanciest hotel in Ireland
Kim and Kanye stayed there, but what’s Ballyfin like?
WHEN YOU TYPE “most expensive hotel ireland” into Google, the first result that pops up is Ballyfin, a country house hotel situated in Co. Laois.
If the name rings any bells, there’s a good reason why: it’s reportedly where Kim and Kanye enjoyed their honeymoon.
Condé Nast Traveller has even described it as “the grandest house in Ireland”.
But what’s it like inside?
Well, it’s basically like something from Downton Abbey.
These paintings follow you everywhere you go.
It’s like being on the Titanic or something.

This is the Wellseley Pole Suite. Nightly rate? €1,120.
*gulp*
It’s so fancy that it has a room called The Gold Room — a drawing room adorned with the fanciest cushions you’ve ever seen in your life
Even the goddamned food is too pretty to touch.
(Although they seem to be generous with their pastries.)

It’s so cartoonishly fancy that it has a china room…
And falcons, lol.
Fancy nipping down? Start saving (read: dreaming/buying Winning Streak scratchards) because rooms cost anything from €460 – €1,320.
One can dream, right?
