Private Dining
Large or Small, We Do It All
We have a number of beautiful, authentic Georgian function rooms for private hire in Kilkenny. Whether you’re looking to organise a small family gathering of up to 40 guests or a larger celebration of up to 200, we have a room and a menu to suit your needs, wants and budget. From christenings, Communions and birthdays, to anniversaries, engagement parties and special occasions, this is the hotel to celebrate in style.
The Georgian Dining Room
In 2025, we underwent a massive €2.5million renovation that included revitalising the beautiful arches, original fireplaces, large windows and ornate architraves of our famous Georgian Dining Room. Featuring the incredible Francini ceiling, this larger space can accommodate up to 40 guests. There’s loads of natural light beaming in through the windows during the day. There’s a warm glow emanating from the magnificent chandelier during the night. And there’s always a good chance your guests won’t want to leave one of the most comfortable function rooms in Kilkenny.
The Drawing Room
We also have our vintage Drawing Room, the ideal place for intimate gatherings 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 won’t easily forget.
Becher’s Ballroom
At the end of a long red carpet, through large double doors, under a wonderfully low ceiling and within big bright windows, sits one of the most beautiful ballrooms in Kilkenny. Becher’s Ballroom can hold extra-special celebrations of up to 200 people standing or 120 sitting. Tables and settings can be laid to suit your exact needs and dancefloors, lights and decorations can be erected if you fancy something extra special for your occasion.
