Welcome to the Menlo Park Hotel, Galway
Fáilte go dtí Menlo Park Hotel, Gaillimh
The award-winning Menlo Park Hotel is a four-star, family owned hotel in Galway City. We're located just 1.2km from Eyre Square, beside the Wild Atlantic Way and close to the N6. That makes us an ideal base whether you're exploring Galway and the surrounding area, travelling for business, or visiting NUIG or University Hospital Galway.
The hotel was opened by Paddy Francis on the 12th of June 1998. It was built on land the family had lived on for generations, and that history runs through the building today. The hotel remains at the heart of the local community, and our guests, whether visiting from home or abroad, regularly mingle with local clientele in our busy P. Francis & Son Bar and Bistro.
Over the years, the hotel has grown to 92 bedrooms through continuous investment. Our most recent renovation, completed in early 2026, introduced our new Signature bedrooms alongside upgrades to our bar and conference facilities.
Rooms to suit every stay
Choose from Classic Rooms, our newly renovated Signature Rooms, or spacious Suites, each designed for comfort whether you're here for one night or a longer stay. Every room includes complimentary WiFi, and our Signature Rooms offer extra space and upgraded finishes for guests who want a little more.
Dining at P. Francis & Son
Our bar and bistro is a local favourite, not just a hotel restaurant.
