The Cashel Palace Hotel is a Palladian style mansion that functions as a hotel and restaurant, featuring 61 guest rooms, located in Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland.
History
Erected circa 1730 for Theophilus Bolton, the building showcases Georgian design principles and was the work of architect Edward Lovett Pearce. Initially serving as the home for several archbishops of the Church of Ireland prior to their move to Waterford, the mansion also contained the original collection of the Bolton Library.
Restaurant
The hotel's primary dining venue, The Bishop's Buttery, operated as a fine dining restaurant and earned a Michelin star in 1982, 1983, and once more in 2024. Additionally, it was recognized with a star by the Egon Ronay Guide in 1982. During its Michelin-starred periods, the establishment offered Modern cuisine under the leadership of head chef and proprietor Declan Ryan.
Current status
Operations at the hotel ceased in 2015 before it was acquired by developer John Magnier. Renovation efforts started in 2017 with an initial reopening target set for 2019; however, this was postponed to 2020 and subsequently delayed again to late 2021 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The hotel eventually reopened its doors in 2022.
