Following many months of detailed planning, development and high anticipation, the wait is finally over for guests of the iconic destination resort, The Montenotte Hotel, to indulge in a new decadent experience, as the stunning new, state of the art, rooftop bar and terrace, The Glasshouse, is proudly unveiled.

Built within the former 18th Century residence of a Merchant Prince, The Montenotte Hotel is well known for its design-led, vibrant and eclectic vibe, best in class service and breath-taking views of Cork. With an investment in the region of €1 million, the latest edition to this innovative hotel, The Glasshouse, has been designed with creativity and fun in mind, perched high among the trees in a luxurious, art-deco inspired setting - enhancing the hotel’s overall proposition.

To access The Glasshouse, guests are led from the Panorama Terrace of the main hotel, down a sweeping staircase, connecting to a new purpose-built glass bridge to the terrace of The Glasshouse and are greeted on arrival by an impressive tall apex glass exterior and stunning soft pink outdoor furnishings. Through the doors, guests can expect to be ‘wowed’ by the botanical themed bespoke interiors and majestic antique brass and blue tiled cocktail bar taking centre stage, surrounded by intimate booth seating in luxurious Italian leather. There is a high end yet relaxed atmosphere that lends itself to a holiday resort vibe - as guests sit back and take in the views while enjoying a range of exclusive botanical signature cocktails, specially crafted by The Montenotte Hotel’s award-winning mixologists and watch the sun go down.

Commenting on the opening, General Manager Brian Bowler stated:“We are incredibly excited that The Glasshouse is now open. It’s hard to believe that just a few months ago, this space was an under-utilised outdoor terrace and has since been transformed into a stylish rooftop bar and terrace, rivalling any Irish or international establishment. The Glasshouse is a real game changer and is a must visit destination experience in Cork.”

Brian added, “We would like to thank all those involved who worked so hard to bring The Glasshouse to life - the attention to detail and craftsmanship in every corner and every feature is second to none and we are proud to have created something truly iconic. The feedback so far has been amazing - with many guests citing they have been ‘blown-away’ by The Glasshouse the minute they step through the doors - which is the exact reaction that we hoped for. As a hotel, we are focussed on continually innovating and always aim to elevate the experience for our guests - The Glasshouse is no exception!”

For guests hoping to be one of the first to experience The Glasshouse, The Montenotte Hotel have introduced an enticing new limited edition Sunset Breakaway Package. From only €295 per stay, the package includes one night bed & breakfast for two adults, with a reserved table at The Glasshouse on arrival where guests will enjoy The Royale Rose - one of the new elegant signature cocktails made with their bespoke Montenotte Gin, fresh strawberries and prosecco, as well as a two-course lunch at the Panorama Bistro either on their arrival or departure day, to further extend and enjoy the visit.
