Waterford - quite a bit of History and some Excellent Hotels

Waterford City is a leisurely, enjoyable place to visit. Like Dublin, it has strong associations with the Vikings who founded the settlement way back in 914. It has quite a bit of history about it which the visitor can explore through the several interesting museums that detail the past life of the city. Add to that, good shopping, nice restaurants and some atmospheric bars and you will be certain to find plenty to occupy you during your visit.

A walk along the riverside has a pleasant relaxing feel and gives some sense to the reasons why the Viking traders first became interested in making this place the focus of their activities. Waterford's quays have a vibrant buzz about them, and is also the location of some of the city's excellent hotels. A standout choice among these is the superb Granville hotel. This highly regarded hotel is a family run establishment and has a deserved reputation for its friendly ambiance and professional standards - which naturally is 4-star quality throughout.

The hotel has certainly many impressive features to recommend it, but the two things that you are most likely to remember most are the drink and the food. You might think that this may not be surprising for any good Irish establishment, except that in the case of the Granville it is that bit more exceptional. What marks it out as special is that both the both the wonderful Bianconi restaurant and the delightful Thomas Francis Meagher bar possess a character, ambiance and easy class that many would strive to emulate, but only few can attain.

It would be superfluous to go into detail to explain why The Granville has got it so right. A host of loyal clients can attest to it, but the best picture one can paint won't outdo reality. Simply, it is best to experience it for yourself.

You won't need to journey further through this post to find the obvious choice for our current promotion, which naturally is for those excellent hotels in Waterford.
