It is ranked alongside new hotels in Switzerland, Costa Rica and Qatar.

Prestigious travel magazine Conde Naste has revealed its list of most exciting new hotel openings coming in 2022, and right near the top of the list is a new Irish destination.

The Cashel Palace, located in Tipperary, has been ear-marked as a must-visit venue for holiday-makers this year.

Conde Nast’s description for why the picked the Tipperary hotel is as follows:

“An 18th-century, Palladian pile of an estate – Cashel Palace has cut an imposing figure over Tipperary since the 1730s. The original hotel closed in 2015 and was taken over by Relais & Chateaux a few years later.

“After a couple of pandemic-related delayed opening dates, we’re excited for a proper peek of the restored interiors, which have played host to Jackie Kennedy, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor and Princess Diana in its former life.

“Three acres of gardens are yours to wander and a slick spa has been added, but there are also original fireplaces and centuries-old windows for history buffs to admire.”

The other entries in the most-exciting new hotels for 2022 include:

  • One Hundred Shoreditch, London, England
  • Gleneagles Townhouse, Edinburgh, Scotland
  • Borgo Sant Andrea, Amalfi Coast, Italy
  • Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som, Qatar
  • Casa Cook Samos, Greece
  • Cap Karoso, Sumba, Indonesia
  • Hoxton Brussels, Belgium
  • Habitas Santa Teresa, Costa Rica
  • Six Senses Crans-Montana, Switzerland
