Location

Conveniently located just 10 minutes from the centre of Cork, the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Cork is also close to historical Cobh and Kinsale, the gourmet capital of Ireland, which offers some of the most picturesque scenery and best sailing in the world.

The Radisson BLU Hotel & Spa, Cork is perfectly nestled on 9 acres, welcoming guests with its tree lined entrance and 300 car spaces. An exquisite location for the golf extremist or holiday maker with many fine golf courses nearby, on Little Island, Fota Island, Douglas and Rochestown. Its close proximity to the city centre is ideal for the shopping guest or those looking for the buzz of the Capital of Culture in 2005.

Cork is Ireland's second largest city and was the European Capital of Culture 2005. The city has one of the world's finest natural harbours and offers excellent daily ferry connections to Britain and mainland Europe. Cork is also easily accessible by rail and air and the hotel itself lies just off the Cork-Waterford dual carriageway.

The city offers an abundance of museums and historical sites and no trip to Cork is complete without sampling the tradition and craic of the local Irish Pubs. The pubs of Cork are intensely atmospheric and while Guinness is brewed and enjoyed in Dublin, the stout of choice in Cork is Murphy's.
