4****Salthill Hotel Galway

It’s hard to beat Salthill’s position. Situated just minutes from the Galway City Centre, Salthill is a traditional seaside resort offering facilities to please everyone. Salthill's famous prom is the perfect place to watch the sun go down on Galway Bay. Located on the northern inner shore of Galway Bay, the Aran Islands are visible to the right and Galway City 'The City of the Tribes’ to the left. (This term came from fourteen merchant families who controlled this area between 13th and 17th century). Directly across Galway Bay is the Burren in County Clare and to the west are the mountains of Connemara. On a clear day you feel as though you could reach out across the bay and touch the Clare Hills though there are also many days when you can’t see them at all!

SALTHILL HOTEL, GALWAY: is a 4****hotel overlooking the famous Salthill Promenade, Galway Bay and Hills of Clare. This elegant hotel features a 30 yards swimming pool, a whirlpool, and a large gym. Just half mile from Galway city centre, it is set in Galway’s beautiful countryside on the scenic route to Connemara National Park, if travelling north or Cliffs of Moher if travelling south. Bright, contemporary rooms come with 30 minutes of free WiFi, desks, flat-screen TVs, hairdryer tea and coffee making facilities. Upgraded rooms (with supplement) provide excellent sea views. There are two relaxed restaurants. Amenities include an indoor pool, a heated hydrotherapy pool, a sauna, a steam room, and a hot tub. There is also outdoor seating offering views over the ocean. Free access is provided to The Ocean Fitness Centre, which provides a 30 yards indoor swimming pool, a 20-yards hydro pool, whirlpool, sauna and steam room. There is also a fully equipped, spacious gym and daily fitness classes, some of which are free for guests.
