Galway's Eyre Square ~ and the Latest Hotel Offers

The atmospheric Fagan's Bar is located in the basement of the 4 star Hotel Meyric.  Step in from Eyre Square to enjoy the wonderful hospitality of one of Galway's finest bars. Particularly enjoyable with good company.
Anytime I am in Galway City I like to spend some time in the Eyre Square Centre. It always seems to have a nice lively buzz about it, and aside from all the interesting shops it is just a lovely place to take some time-out for a coffee or a snack. In fact, you can do this and at the same time admire the wonderful way that the architects have retained part of the old city's wall within the centre's structure.

Just outside, of course, is Eyre Square itself which still manages to have an historic feel about, especially if you spend a few moments to consider that quite a lot of the buildings come from a distant period. In recent years the square has been given a facelift to good affect and is a pleasant focal point for festival events or just taking some leisurely moments. After the makeover, they still kept the Gaway Hooker sculpture which at first sight looks like several slices of conjoined rusty metal. Viewed through an artistic eye, however, it is expected that you can appreciate a sublime example of modern art. But visitors who disregard the 'Kings-new-suit-of clothes' perspective, and who take the trouble to have a closer look, will find several slices of conjoined rusty metal.

There is so much to explore in Galway, but before you leave Eyre Square take the opportunity to pop in to the impressive Hotel Meyric which first opened its doors to guests in 1854. Many famous people have stayed here including John Ford, Fread Astaire, John Wayne and Bing Crosby. As you can gather, it is something special.

Now something else special from our 'Irelands Hotels' promotions, and one guess will get it - a special deal for hotels in Galway.
