One of the original gate lodges on the estate, The Palmer Lodge offers guests luxury self-catering accommodation in a period house that has been restored, renovated and modernised to a very high standard. This picturesque accommodation option offers a unique yet comfortable experience and features four bedrooms, available as doubles or twins; a bright lounge and dining area in which to entertain or unwind, and garden patio. The Palmer Lodge is also conveniently located beside The Palmer all-day dining restaurant with its fire pits and open-air terrace, meaning a superb lunch or night out is always on your doorstep.






The Straffan Gate Lodge is luxury self-catering accommodation that offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a spacious lounge and a full kitchen. The Straffan is ideal for families or groups of friends or colleagues and provides three king-sized bedrooms. The Straffan is also ideal for families or smaller parties seeking an exclusive retreat while still enjoying all the amenities The K Club has to offer. This private residence is within walking distance of resort’s newest dining option – the lively and welcoming South Bar & Restaurant.

Recently refurbished to make the most of the natural light that floods in through the impressive French windows, The Henry Lounge is a laidback yet sophisticated space perfect for a mid-morning coffee, light bite, pre-dinner drink or relaxed repose.
Neutral walls are emboldened with primary coloured accents from elegant curved back sofas and chairs in strokable soft velvet, while daylight dances across antique gold accents, refracting within eye-catching crystal droplets dangling from the statement palm leaf chandeliers that add a dash of Francophile elegance to the lounge’s brightened and refreshed look.
The glossy mahogany bar is always a welcome sight, yielding refreshments throughout the day to be lingered over whilst looking out onto the sweeping lawns or admiring the collection of Liam O'Neill paintings each representing a moment or national hero of Irish sporting history including Rory McIlroy on the dramatic 18th hole at the 2016 Irish Open played out on The K Club's very own Championship course.

Wonderfully flexible, whether you’re looking to host an intimate tête-à-tête with a bestie, or a swinging party with family and friends, The Palmer fits the bill.
A pale teal and azure interiors scheme is spangled with gold, 1930s-inspired motifs, while the adjoining terrace has a retractable roof for further flexibility and provides gorgeous views out over the famous Palmer North golf course.
With a focus on the best Irish produce – from chicken wings to juicy fillet steaks – The Palmer is reassuringly classic.
Sprinkle some stardust with a perfectly shaken (not stirred) martini, sipped by the fire pits on the terrace in honour of previous K Club proprietor – and renowned James Bond producer and bon vivant - Kevin McClory.

The irreverent, bolder cousin of The Palmer, South Bar & Restaurant is a feast of brash flavour and vivid colour. Newly-imagined, from the ground up, South reflects the trailblazing spirit of The K Club, a place where there’s always a tingle of excitement in the air, where it’s always Time to Play.
This lively hotspot is perfect for family get-togethers, dressed-up nights out with cocktails and tasty food, or simply catching up over long, bottomless brunches with friends.
With relaxed, open-plan seating and a chic outdoor terrace offering sweeping views of Palmer South golf course, South is as intimate or as sociable as you’d like.

Drop in and meet the locals at The Straffan Inn, an authentic Irish village pub, featuring perfectly pulled pints (arrive early and you might even get to pull your own!) served with a welcoming smile.
The Inn features snuggle-worthy nooks and crannies in which to get lost in conversation, tall stools set upon harlequin tiles, dark wood, rippled glass partitions and real fires.
The Inn also features a beer garden for al fresco get-togethers and a warmly lit outhouse with wood-burning stove for cosy night-time camaraderie.
Serving beers and delicious pizza's the Straffan Inn is a great place to relax and experience a real Irish pub.

Taking the Barton name in honor of The K Club’s original founders, our signature restaurant is where our resort’s trailblazing past meets the present in a bold expression of flavour, atmosphere and top-class service.

Blue Martini is our chic and glamorous cocktail bar. Run smoothly by our storied Hotel Beverages Manger, John Ryan, whose anecdotes add up to a legendary who’s who of previous owners and visitors to the resort.
Subtly recalling Art Nouveau in its decor, the atmosphere is laidback and fun.
John has curated an impressive collection of world-renowned whiskeys and gins, as well as a selection of fine champagnes and wines, but make sure to try a mixed drink from his extensive repertoire of cocktails. Settle in and let the good times roll, Blue Martini is always at the ready for a heady celebration or simply a well-made drink enjoyed in smart surroundings.

Join us for afternoon tea in the Drawing Room, one of the most refined and elegant dining spaces at The K Club.
Located in the original Straffan House wing of the hotel the room features hand-painted wallpaper, picture windows, a magnificent fireplace, oversized antique vases and a gentle sense of genteel refinement combined with a generous dash of the celebratory atmosphere for which we are so well known.
Both our classic and festively themed afternoon teas are enjoyed here in this appropriately authentic room.











Set in lush countryside overlooking elegant gardens and pastoral woodlands, our outdoors activity options extend well beyond world-renowned fairways and golf greens. Curious guests have the estate’s magical nooks and crannies to discover via The K Trails, a six-kilometre network of riverside walks and woodland treks accessed on foot or via one of our complimentary bikes.
Or perhaps you’d like to blaze a trail and develop a passion for something new? With angling, paddle boarding, archery, shooting, falconry, horse-riding or tennis tuition available to try, there is plenty to entice the inquisitive, while younger guests will certainly enjoy having their scientific enthusiasm ignited via The K Club’s much-loved Junior Einsteins Science Club.
Back indoors there’s further excitement – from bespoke wine cellar tours, to guided whiskey tastings, The K Club also provides an unparalleled choice of bars, restaurants, handsome drawing rooms and magnificent interiors in which to spend one’s time exceedingly well.
