In the heart of the historic and vibrant town of Ennis, the Temple Gate Hotel is within easy driving distance of Limerick, Shannon Airport, the Burren, Cliffs of Moher and the city of Galway. Ideal for both business and leisure visitors to the area, this modern hotel has a gothic feel to its public areas due to its origins as a 19th Century Convent of Mercy. The hotel's Legends Restaurant has been awarded an AA Rosette award for 11 consecutive years and is popular with local as well as visiting trade. For less formal dining, Preachers pub serves traditional Irish dishes and often has live music in the evenings. All 70 ensuite bedrooms are smartly furnished and feature satellite TV, tea and coffee making facilities and modem connection. Free wifi is available in public lounge areas. There is ample free parking adjacent to the hotel.
