Located in the Victorian Quarter, The Metropole Hotel Cork is the city’s most iconic hotel: world-renowned for our warm hospitality and attention to detail, and for having welcomed stars of the arts including the screen and stage. Stay with us to indulge in the finer things in life – impeccable service, sophisticated design, rich food and timeless elegance.

Our guests can enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city by day – exploring Cork’s most famous tourist attractions, shopping in boutiques or visiting its multitude of galleries and theatres – and retreat to our haven by evening. Relax in your elegantly-decorated room. Unwind in our leisure centre, or while away the evening in The MET Cork. Our team of mixologists and culinary artists will delight your tastebuds, and perhaps even share some stories and secrets from the hotel’s past.
