The Lakeside Hotel and Leisure Centre

The Lakeside Hotel and Leisure Centre is a riverside hotel at Ballina Quay in Killaloe, County Clare, positioned beside the River Shannon with views across the water towards Ballina and Killaloe. The setting gives the property a clear connection to the lake and the surrounding Shannon region, while the accommodation, leisure facilities and event spaces make it suitable for several types of stay.

The hotel has 55 rooms, with accommodation including single, double, twin, family and superior lakeview options. The range allows the property to cater for individual stays, couples and family breaks, with the waterfront location adding a visual feature to selected rooms. The accommodation sits alongside facilities intended for both relaxation and active time indoors.

The leisure centre includes an 18-metre swimming pool, a 40-metre water slide, a Jacuzzi and a fully equipped gym. The pool and slide give the centre a strong family focus, while the Jacuzzi and gym provide additional options for guests looking for a quieter or more structured leisure session. These facilities form a significant part of the hotel’s appeal for stays where recreation is as important as sightseeing.

Dining is available at the hotel, with banqueting suites provided for celebrations and other organised occasions. The venue also caters for weddings, with gardens, dedicated wedding arrangements and an in-house wedding celebrant forming part of the wedding offering. The combination of garden spaces and indoor event facilities allows the property to accommodate wedding-related gatherings as well as other celebrations.

Meetings and events are also part of the hotel’s services, making the venue relevant to organised groups as well as leisure travellers. The event spaces can be used alongside accommodation and dining, which may suit gatherings that require several elements in one location.

The Lakeside Hotel and Leisure Centre suits families seeking a hotel break with swimming and water-based activities, couples looking for a waterfront stay, wedding parties and groups arranging a celebration or meeting. Its position also places it within the hotel’s wider selection of walks in the Shannon region, local activities and attractions in Clare, North Tipperary and Limerick. The result is a practical base for combining hotel facilities with time spent exploring the surrounding area.
