Christmas Stays & Events in Cork

Keep the magic of Christmas alive with a visit to The Metropole Hotel Cork this winter season. Enjoy unforgettable celebrations with family, friends and colleagues. We invite you to join us this Christmas for festive dining, new years eve celebrations and Christmas breaks with little touches along the way to capture the magic of the season.

The Metropole Hotel is the ideal location for a pre-Christmas winter break with your family or friends, as a base for your shopping spree in Cork, or just as a treat for yourself after a long year.

Or maybe it’s because you want a few days of doing absolutely nothing at all except lounging around and recharging.
