There’s something truly magical about waking up in the middle of Galway City. Located just steps from Eyre Square (and a one-minute walk from the main bus and train station), the hotel, which is part of the Byrne Hotel Group collection, has always had location on its side. Whether you're here for the famous festivals, spontaneous pub sessions, boutique shopping, or just a walk along the Latin Quarter, everything is within a few cobblestoned strides.
But it’s what’s inside that counts - and The Eyre Square Hotel has seriously raised the bar.
Inside, all 80 bedrooms have been totally revamped. First impressions matter, and the hotel’s newly installed timber floors make an instant impact. They bring a clean, natural warmth to the space while adding a stylish, contemporary edge. In the bedrooms, comfort reigns supreme. Think comfy beds with crisp white sheets, plush duvets, fluffy towels - all designed to help you melt away the day’s adventures. And because we all like to unwind in our own way, rooms also now come equipped with Smart TVs, perfect for streaming your favourites after a day in the city. Need to upload those Instagram-worthy snaps or catch up on emails? Free internet access throughout the hotel makes staying connected effortless. Whether you're flying solo, bringing the other half, or showing Galway off to a group of friends, there’s a room that’ll suit you. Book your stay here.
And if you’re hungry? You’re in for a treat.
At Eyre Square Hotel, The Merchant Café has recently launched a brand-new brunch menu, and it’s seriously mouth-watering. Whether you’re into classic Irish breakfasts, pancakes, or a filling sandwich, there’s plenty to love. Even better, if you mention the code #ThisIsGalway you’ll get 10% off your food. It’s a delicious reason to stay a little longer.
The Merchant Bar & Restaurant has also had a makeover, with an outstanding colonial-style vibe and plenty of space for family gatherings, celebrations, or even stag and hen parties that want something a bit more chilled and stylish.
Tying it all together is the hotel’s place within a distinctive family of properties. The Eyre Square Hotel is one of three Galway-based sisters, alongside the charming Victoria Hotel and under the wing of their elegant matriarch, the Salthill Hotel - long regarded as a stalwart of Galway hospitality. Completing the quartet is the fabulous Albany House on Harcourt Street in Dublin (just a short walk from Grafton St & St Stephen's Green), lending a touch of Georgian grace to the group’s collective personality. Together, they form a uniquely Irish hotel family - each property with its own character, yet all sharing a commitment to warmth, comfort, and style.
So, what are you waiting for? Come see what’s new at the Eyre Square Hotel - a new look, new brunch menu, and a new way to stay in the city. For bookings, brunch menu, or to plan your next trip, head to eyresquarehotel.com and don’t forget to use #ThisIsGalway for that sweet 10% off your food!
