The g Hotel & Spa is the exquisite creation of Philip Treacy, the world’s most famous milliner and Galway native. Choose the g Hotel & Spa for a spa break, girlie getaway or for cutting edge business meetings.

From the moment you step inside the g Hotel, one of the most luxurious hotels in Galway, you know that you are in a uniquely special place. The dark and intimate reception area sets the tone, with black glass walls acting as a frame for a tank of Connemara-bred seahorses and includes a bespoke concierge wall, covered in white Venetian plaster and reminiscent of a seashell, this is a hint of the surprises to come. You will also see over 200 twinkling mirrored lights in the white Grand Salon alluding to the bubbles in water and the shimmering silver wall tile feature is reminiscent of the patterns you see in sand and the ripples of the water. Even the guest rooms have been given the Philip Treacy touch with shell shaped door handles and light filled spaces. The g is a hotel which evokes Hollywood glamour along with a traditional warm Irish welcome.

Eyre Square is a 15 minute walk along College Road, passing the Connacht Rugby Sportsground or 20 minutes via the Lough Atalia road. The g Hotel & Spa just 10 minutes from the Galway Racecourse, home of the famous Galway horse racing festival each July.
