If You Are in a Hurry
Here’s a quick list of the best hotels in Galway
In Galway, boutique hotels—small, design-led properties rooted in local culture—offer a charming alternative to larger chains, with individually styled rooms, attentive service and farm-to-table breakfasts that make wandering the city's cobbled streets and lively music venues feel like coming home. For the best stay, seek family-run hotels in the Latin Quarter or sea-view rooms in Salthill, book early for festival and race weeks, and prioritize properties that champion Irish craft, local cuisine and personalized recommendations to shape authentic, memorable experiences.
