Condé Nast Traveller’s Readers’ Choice Awards 2023: Adare Manor Tops European Resorts
Condé Nast Traveller has recently announced the results of its highly anticipated Readers’ Choice Awards for 2023, and Adare Manor in Ireland has come out on top. Adare Manor, known for its exceptional ‘Beyond Everything’ approach, has been chosen as the favorite resort in Europe by travelers who have experienced its luxury firsthand.
“We are genuinely thrilled,” says Brendan O’Connor, General Manager at Adare Manor. “To be recognized as the absolute favorite resort in Europe is a tremendous source of satisfaction and reward for our entire team.”
Adare Manor is not the only Irish resort to make it to the top 10 European resorts list. The Lodge at Ashford Castle and Ashford Castle itself, both located in Ireland, have secured the fourth and eighth positions, respectively. The Europe Hotel & Resort in Killarney also joins the list at number nine. It is worth mentioning that The Europe Hotel & Resort has also been named Ireland’s best hotel by the Irish Independent’s Reader Travel Awards 2023.
Michael Brennan, Managing Director of The Europe, expresses his gratitude for this prestigious recognition. “This accolade is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of our outstanding team,” he says proudly.

Nevertheless, the recognition received by the Irish resorts is a significant vote of confidence in their excellence.
