The Montenotte Hotel, high on the hill of its namesake Cork suburb, has the best views of any Cork hotel — 107 rooms facing south over the city and harbour. The 2020 refurbishment kept the 18th-century bones (the hotel was originally the residence of the Archbishop of Cashel) while adding design-driven interiors.
The Panorama Terrace bar is a destination in its own right, even for non-guests — sunset drinks with Cork spread out below. The hotel has its own small cinema (free for guests, films Friday evenings). 10-minute walk downhill to Shandon; 20 minutes to Patrick Street.
