Hotel break Ireland - excellent all year round deals on hotels in Dublin, Wicklow, London & Sussex

The Regency Hotel Group's seaside hotel is closed for the winter of 2002 for renovations.

Normally, however, if you're looking for all the luxurious comforts of modern facilities, presented in elegant surroundings in a quiet location that's only a short distance from a thriving metropolis, then the Regency Esplanade Hotel is for you.

The Victorian building that houses the hotel has been lovingly restored to its former grandeur on the seafront of Bray, Co. Wicklow, one of Ireland's most popular coastal resorts.

Whether on business or pleasure, you'll fall in love with the hotel's location, since it offers easy access to the rest of Wicklow ("The Garden County of Ireland") but is only a 30-minute ride by electronic train from Dublin city centre.

The 3-star Esplanade has 40 rooms, an exciting restaurant, and a graciously proportioned resident's lounge with balcony overlooking the seafront.
Its leisure facilities include a gym with up-to-the-minute equipment - including a sauna, steam room and a 10 seater jacuzzi.

Banqueting facilities can accommodate up to 130 persons.

Bray is known as the Gateway to the Garden of Ireland as it is the ideal launching pad for exploring Wicklow's hills, valleys and lakes. Amenities around the town include bowling, The National Sea Life Exhibition centre, cliff and hill walks, golf on a choice of park or link courses, and horse-riding.
