The Kerryman (South Kerry Edition)
Rose Hotel
‘THE Rose Effect’ is a way of life at The Rose Hotel in Tralee, and it’s the foundation of the business.
At The Rose Hotel it’s about building one-on-one relationships with guests, about being positive, proactive, making things happen with all staff making a difference.
The four-star hotel has 161 bedrooms, four meeting rooms and function room with capacities for two to 320 people.
With two restaurants on site - the delightful Park Restaurant and elegant Rose Room, boasting – here you find carefully created menus by Head Chef Odran Lucy, which include the very best of local ingredients. Dott’s Bar, popular with local trade and hotel guests, provides a full drinks menu and extensive bar food menu.
New to The Rose Hotel is the gorgeous Rós Buí terrace, where the menu is a relaxed style of dining with a sense of fun as you can select dishes to share and graze with friends or enjoy some light bites and drinks before dinner.
Meanwhile, time stands still at the hotel’s Serenity Spa where the bespoke treatment rooms provide a tranquil space to relax. A fully equipped gym is also provided and there’s complimentary car parking and WIFI throughout the hotel.
The hotel has a staff forum where employees have an input in initiatives in the hotel, plus there’s an ‘employee of the quarter’, team bonding outings and staff parties. Proprietors Dick and Eibhlín Hengglér strive to use local suppliers and contractors, and also highlight local amenities and attractions to guests.
And that ‘Rose Effect’ has garnered numerous business and hospitality award nominations along the way.
