There is more than an air of normality, optimism, and excitement as we turn the corner from 2022 to 2023. The travel and tourist industries throughout the world have reported a surge in bookings for 2023, as people gather around the dinner table over the holidays to plan for family holidays, city breaks and more.

Despite the rise in cost of living, McQuade hotels have managed to maintain the very best rates when you book direct at any of their 6 properties, and without having to compromise on the quality of their products.

We are so looking forward to one of the most beloved dates on the Calendar, St. Patricks Day.
