Family Occassions
Make Special Occasions, Extra Special
Our historic hotel is a landmark destination for family occasions in Kilkenny. If you’re looking to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, engagement, christening, Communion or other special occasion, look no further. From small family occasions for up to 40 people, to bigger ones for up to 200, we can organise a room and a menu to suit your wants, needs and budget.
The Georgian Dining Room
Our massive €2.5million renovation in 2025 included revitalising the beautiful arches, original fireplaces, large windows and ornate architraves of the gorgeous Georgian Dining Room. Featuring the incredible Francini ceiling, it can accommodate up to 40 guests. There’s loads of natural light beaming in through the windows during the day and a warm glow emanating from the magnificent chandelier during the night. One of the most authentic function rooms in Kilkenny, this is the perfect place to celebrate your next family occasion.
The Drawing Room
Our vintage Drawing Room is an ideal setting for smaller family occasions of up to 35 people. This beautifully ornate space features a gloriously large mirror that greets you and your guests on arrival. Add that to the tall windows, high ceilings, ornate architraves and meticulously intricate fixtures, and you have an intimate private dining room in Kilkenny that your guests will never forget.
Becher’s Ballroom
This very special setting can hold extra-special celebrations of up to 200 people standing or 120 sitting. With its long red carpet, large double doors, wonderfully low ceiling and big bright windows, this is one of the most beautiful ballrooms in Kilkenny. Flexible enough to be laid out to suit your exact needs, lights, dancefloors and decorations can also be erected to put an additional touch of entertainment to your special night.
Book Your Family Occasion
Whichever room you require, you can also choose from one of our food and beverage packages. As you and your guests are creating memories, our chefs will be carefully crafting memorable dishes for you all to enjoy. The only thing that will come close to your specially selected courses, will be the level of service you’ll experience in our authentic surroundings.
