The story of Kilmurry Lodge Hotel begins in 1995 on a family farm in Castletroy, Limerick. Built by the family for the community, the hotel opened its doors as a 30-bedroom property with Nelligan’s Bar, Flanagan’s Restaurant, a large function room, and an underground nightclub called The Lodge — which went on to become one of the most iconic entertainment venues in Limerick for over two decades. From those early days, the hotel quickly established itself as a go-to destination for weddings, celebrations, and events, earning the loyalty of generations of Limerick families and visitors from across Ireland and beyond.
A business — like a story — never stands still. Over thirty years, Kilmurry Lodge has grown steadily and purposefully, guided always by the same family values that inspired its founding. Today, the hotel offers:
109 guest rooms across multiple room categories
11 self-catering apartments for extended stays and corporate guests
CASK, an underground live entertainment venue
Nelligan’s Bar & Restaurant, refurbished and reimagined
The Smokeshack and The Terrace, seasonal dining experiences
A fully equipped Fitness Studio
Each development has been driven by a commitment to improving the guest experience and responding to what the Limerick community and our visitors actually need.
