From its perch, above the banks of the River Lee, The Montenotte has long been a local favourite, thanks to its proximity to Cork’s city centre, as well as its views across the harbour. Originally built as a residence called Lee View House in the 1820s, the property has, over the years, been extended and transformed into a luxury urban resort that unfolds over 107 rooms, a wellness centre, a cinema, and a buzzing restaurant and bar – also the best spots to watch the sun go down with a cocktail before sampling dishes like the crab and prawn gratin or the delicious puff pastry beef wellington.
