On the 430-acre Westport Estate in County Mayo, next to Westport House, on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way.
The concept
The Grace is a 129-room hotel built on the grounds of Westport Estate, a 430-acre property in County Mayo centred on the 18th-century Westport House. The hotel is named after two women with ties to Mayo — 16th-century Gaelic chieftain Grace O'Malley and actress-turned-princess Grace Kelly — and its interiors lean on a west-of-Ireland palette of greens and rust tones, oak furnishings and locally curated art. Rooms range from Deluxe Double and Twin through Grand Deluxe and Premium categories to four suite types, including Clew Bay, Grace Kelly, Grace O'Malley and a Family Suite. The Grace Spa & Wellness was developed with Irish spa brand GROUND and includes six treatment rooms, a relaxation lounge, a nail and makeup studio and a pool. The estate development is expected to create up to 170 jobs. The hotel is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
Dining & wellness
Two restaurants operate on site: Black Sheep, a fire-cooking, West-Coast-inspired dinner venue, and Kelly's, a library-styled all-day restaurant with a woodland terrace used for cocktails.
