This Kildare hotel is the perfect place to celebrate Christmas

As the festive season approaches, the allure of winter wonderlands and festive celebrations beckons – here is why one Kildare hotel is the perfect place to celebrate Christmas.

Imagine the scene: It’s a freezing winter’s day but dry and sunny. In other words, it’s utter perfection. You have returned to your beautiful Kildare hotel after a walk of the grounds. Frost has tickled the grass, and the cold has prodded your bones. To warm up, you order a mulled wine. You relax in the surroundings of your hotel which is delightfully decorated for the festive season. Christmas tunes fill the air, the fairy lights sparkle, and joy surrounds every corner. You decide to sit by the fire of which the embers glow as the flames softly snap and flicker. A gentle warmth envelops you and while it sounds cheesy, at that moment, you do wish it could be Christmas every day. 

With the yuletide season just around the corner, few places offer festive charm and enchanting luxury quite like The K Club in County Kildare. Set on 550 acres of captivating Irish countryside, this iconic resort is renowned for its timeless elegance and during this time of year, it combines the classic magic of Christmas with modern touches. 

Imagine a holiday where each cherished tradition is lovingly embraced and every seasonal wish is met with a festive flourish. And this year promises to be one of the best yet at the beloved hotel. The K Club’s Christmas Celebrations package invites you to step into a world of indulgence, joy, and heartwarming surprises – a place where family memories are made and magic fills every corner.

A warm, festive welcome

Christmas at The K Club begins the moment you arrive, as glimmering lights illuminate the estate, and the crackle of log fires invites you to relax and feel at home. To begin your three-day Christmas break, you will be welcomed with a delicious taste of tradition: homemade mince pies and mulled wine. 

Then for those who cherish the sights and sounds of Christmas, every inch of The K Club is designed to bring festive cheer. Your room, adorned with its very own Christmas tree, is ready to host those special moments like gift-giving on Christmas morning. This attention to detail, coupled with the estate’s impeccable service, ensures an experience filled with comfort, sophistication and festival ease.

Indulgent festive dining

Culinary delights are integral to Christmas and the joy of the season continues with The K Club’s renowned dining experiences, designed to make each meal a memorable celebration. From a lavish Christmas Eve dinner in either The Barton Restaurant or The Palmer, to an exquisite Christmas lunch, every meal at The K Club captures the flavours and spirit of this time of year. Meanwhile, the Evening Buffet Supper in the Drawing Room adds a cosy conclusion to a day of indulgence, offering a delicious spread in a welcoming setting.

Each dining experience is crafted with the highest quality ingredients and seasonal flair, making every bite something to savour. And perhaps best of all, guests can simply relax and relish the festive feast without a single dish to wash which is one of the best Christmas gifts you can get. 

Christmas Eve traditions and festivities

On Christmas Eve, traditional and modern celebrations intertwine to create a truly unique day. Embrace the familiar with mass and the sweet sound of carol singers filling the air with seasonal melodies. Capture a treasured memory with a family portrait next to the towering Christmas tree in the resort’s grand lobby, creating a keepsake to treasure always. 

On Christmas Eve, it’s all about creating anticipation as the little ones wait for Santa’s special stop at The K Club. Whether it’s the expectation of Christmas morning or the contentment of time spent together, traditions are brought to life with joy and care.

A magical Christmas morning 

When Christmas morning finally arrives, guests can start the day with a relaxed breakfast, savouring every moment in the warmth of The K Club’s elegant surroundings. Following the Christmas Day feast, guests are free to enjoy the estate and its surroundings, with activities designed to suit every taste. From refreshing garden walks to heart-pumping archery demonstrations, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. On St Stephen’s Day, the Christmas spirit is extended with more adventures, including falconry displays and lively Irish dancing performances.

Then for those seeking relaxation, The K Spa provides a blissful retreat, while golfers can enjoy the resort’s two renowned Arnold Palmer-designed championship golf courses.

Luxury and tradition meet 

This beautifully wrapped three-night Christmas Celebrations package is available from €1,130 per night and includes a full Irish breakfast each morning, a four-course Christmas Eve dinner, a lavish Christmas lunch, and an evening buffet supper, along with access to the full Christmas activity program.

So, imagine the scene, set it and make it a Christmas to remember.
