Seventy Six on The Mall in Cork

The Imperial is an old style hotel but has retained its lustre and offers a great stay in the centre of cork. My room was a little cold but I worked out how to add some heat with the AC unit and there was only one small window. At £260 per night for two nights and a ‘premier’ double I thought it might be better appointed. Two highlights are the beautifully refurbished Fitzgeralds Bar which is wonderfully opulent and the great tea/coffee cafe called Lafayettes which is equally opulent, table service, old fashioned tea and cake venue just inside the hotel entrance. All staff have been wonderful

I recently visited The Imperial Hotel for afternoon tea. The hotel and restaurant itself are beautiful, and the ambiance is lovely. The service during our afternoon tea was excellent, the staff were polite and very professional. Unfortunately, the savory selection was disappointing. The sandwiches were very small, quite bland, and the bread didn't taste fresh. Because of the food quality and portion sizes, it didn't feel like good value for money. The setting and hospitality are wonderful, but the food needs improvement.

Stayed from Tuesday till Friday as birthday treat and was so happy and excited. From front of house through to catering to housekeeping it was a fantastic experience. Everyone made it a special occasion and was great to see Christy again, thank you for making it a memorable celebration 5x
