County Clare
At a glance
Queens Hotel is a town-centre hotel on Abbey Street in Ennis, with accommodation and several food and drink spaces under one roof. Its position places shops, boutiques and the wider town within an easy walk, making the hotel a practical base for exploring Ennis and the surrounding area.
The hotel has 46 bedrooms, including double, twin and triple rooms. The accommodation is designed for straightforward, comfortable stays, with some rooms looking towards the neighbouring Franciscan Friary. The room mix suits couples, friends travelling together, families and small groups, while group bookings are also catered for.
Food and drink form a central part of the hotel’s character. Kaffeine is the in-house coffee shop, serving coffee, treats and food throughout the day. It provides a casual daytime setting for breakfast, a coffee stop or a relaxed meet-up.
No. Forty One offers a more contemporary dining experience, with seasonal dishes presented in a stylish setting. The menu is modern and balanced, while the drinks list includes wines and cocktails. The restaurant’s approach gives the hotel an option for an evening meal without leaving the building.
Cruises provides a traditional Irish bar atmosphere shaped by local character and live entertainment. Regular traditional sessions and weekend live music add to its sociable feel, and the bar also operates as a late-night venue. It suits visitors looking for an informal drink, traditional music and a connection with Ennis’s market-town culture.
The combination of hotel rooms, coffee shop, restaurant and bars gives Queens Hotel several distinct moods, from daytime coffee and casual treats to contemporary dining and traditional music. The setting is particularly suited to short town breaks, family get-togethers, group stays and weekends centred on food, drinks and live entertainment.
Because Cruises hosts late-night music, weekend noise is part of the town-centre experience. That atmosphere will appeal to guests who want evening activity close by, while those seeking a quieter night may prefer to discuss room location with the hotel before booking. Queens Hotel brings together accommodation, dining and entertainment in a central Ennis address, with an old-world Irish hospitality style alongside more modern food and coffee spaces.
