Friday
It is time to wind down after a busy week of working. Check into the Glenroyal Hotel for a weekend of rest and relaxation. Take a dip in one of our swimming pools at the Leisure Club and let any stress melt away. Book an evening of luxury and dine at The Enclosure Restaurant to enjoy a culinary journey of local seasonal produce, prepared by our Executive Head Chef Bernard McGuane. Catch a night cap or toast to the weekend with something special made by our in-house mixologist in Arkle Bar. Finally, what you have been waiting all evening for! Retire to one of our comfortable rooms for the evening and sink into a deep sleep. You will be nice and refreshed for your trip into Kildare Town.
Saturday
Wake up feeling fresh on Saturday morning, let our full Irish breakfast fuel your day of exploring. Grab a coffee to go from Shoda Market Cafe and head out for a stroll along the Royal Canal Greenway located just a few steps from the hotel. Take a walk along the beautiful grounds of Maynooth University, then learn a little about the history of Maynooth by stopping by Maynooth Castle. Enjoy some retail therapy in Kildare Village, which can be followed by a spot of lunch in one of the many restaurants close by. With the train station just a short walk away, you could also spend your Saturday in Dublin City. Explore all the big smoke, stroll along Grafton Street or maybe head into the Guinness Storehouse to learn all about how the 'black stuff' is made. There is plenty to do and see in Dublin and we have listed some of the top attractions Dublin has to offer.
After a day of exploring, return to us at Glenroyal where we can book you in for a relaxing massage at Noa Spa & Wellness. Let our skilled spa therapists take you on a relaxing journey, take this time for you and let your mind escape. After your treatment, don't leave our spa just yet! Enjoy a refreshing swim in our heated 20 metre adult only pool or chill out in our jacuzzi, sauna or steam room. Return to your room to get ready for the evening ahead. Start the night in Arkle Bar with some signature cocktails made by our in-house mixologist before heading out to explore the night scene in Maynooth. With many restaurants and local Irish pubs there is something to suit everyone. After your late night bop in the town, your room will be waiting for you.
Sunday
Now let's have a sleep in and take it easy! Enjoy a slow Sunday morning in the comfort of your room. Request room service for a time that suits you and have breakfast in bed. Don't want to leave us just yet? Grab a coffee in Shoda, sit back and relax before your journey home. Leave feeling refreshed and ready to take on the week ahead.
Tee off at The K Club Golf Course or Carton House. Big into the races? Plan a trip for the Punchestown Festival and visit Punchestown Racecourse. Better yet, grab your girlfriends and head off for Ladies Day at Naas Racecourse or the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at Curragh Racecourse.
