The House Hotel, Galway’s Latin Quarter
City comfort and boutique character, moments from the Spanish Arch and Shop Street.
Boutique & Unique
The House Hotel is a 4-star boutique hotel in the heart of Galway’s Latin Quarter, a three-minute stroll from the Spanish Arch, Shop Street and the city’s best pubs and restaurants. Whether you are here for a festival, a weekend away or a romantic escape in the City of the Tribes, this is your base in the middle of it all.
All 48 rooms have been newly refurbished with bold design, plush bedding and welcome touches like in-room coffee machines. Add a grab-and-go breakfast, a café bar and a team who know Galway inside out, and everything you came for is right on the doorstep. Book direct for our best available rate.
A New Era
All 48 of our guest rooms have had a fabulous makeover, think bold design, luxe finishes, plush bedding, smart tech, and coffee machines (because caffeine is love). We didn’t stop there, our staircases and corridors got a fresh new look too.
It’s the final flourish in our full hotel transformation, after a revamp of the ground floor brought you eight shiny new Ground Floor Deluxe rooms, our chic Café Bar, and al fresco vibes with our outdoor seating area.
The House Hotel is feeling fresher than ever — and we can’t wait to show you around!
