Please Note:

 

Here at The Grand Hotel, we care deeply about our team of hard-working employees, our loyal and valued guests and the wider Tralee & Kerry community.

Caring for our guests and team members has always been central to our philosophy, and has been instilled in our Core Values for generations. However the recent Covid-19 Pandemic has brought this to a new level, and afforded us the opportunity to re-examine all of our work practices. While we are closely monitoring advice and directives from the Irish Government, HSE and WHO (World Health Organisation), we wanted to take a moment to ensure you that we are taking every action to enhance the safety of your visit to us.

 As always, we offer easy booking processes and direct communication when you book direct on our website. We remain committed to keeping our guests informed and we can be contacted online info@thegrandhoteltralee.com.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Grand Hotel, ensuring all Government guidelines are followed and thank you once again for your continued support.
