Ballygarry Estate Hotel & Spa Named Among Ireland’s Top 3 Hotels in Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2026
A proud moment for Ballygarry, Tralee to share that Ballygarry Estate Hotel & Spa has been ranked No. 3 in Ireland in the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards 2026.
There are few compliments more meaningful to a hotel than hearing that each guest would happily return. To be recognised by visitors from around the world is something special. To be named among the Top 3 Hotels in Ireland makes it even more so.
For everyone at Ballygarry Estate, this is a wonderful achievement – and one that belongs as much to our guests as it does to our team.
When guests tell the story
The Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards are based on reviews and opinions shared by visitors, making this recognition particularly meaningful. It is the voice of guests that has helped place Ballygarry among Ireland’s most highly regarded hotels.
And what makes this year’s recognition even more special is the company we find ourselves in.
Ballygarry sits at No. 3 in Ireland, alongside some of the country’s most celebrated hotels:
1. The Killarney Park
2. Ashford Castle
3. Ballygarry Estate Hotel & Spa
4. The Alex
5. Adare Manor
To be included in such distinguished company is a tremendous honour.
More than a hotel
Perhaps what makes Ballygarry special is that it has never been simply about a hotel stay.
It is about arriving at the Estate and feeling immediately at home. It is about the welcome at reception, a memorable meal, time spent relaxing at Nádúr Spa, and the opportunity to slow down and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding countryside.
Set across 150 acres in the heart of County Kerry, Ballygarry offers a place where guests can escape, reconnect and experience the very best of Irish hospitality – while being perfectly placed to explore Tralee, the Wild Atlantic Way and the landscapes that make Kerry such a special destination.
A team effort
Behind every memorable stay is a team of people who care about the details.
From the first welcome to the final farewell, our people are at the heart of the Ballygarry experience. This award is therefore a wonderful acknowledgement of the commitment, care and genuine hospitality shown by our team every day.
From all of us at Ballygarry Estate Hotel & Spa, thank you for choosing us and for sharing your experiences.
We look forward to welcoming future visitors and returning visitors over the coming years.
