Three Kerry hotels have been named among the Best of the Best in the 2025 Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards.
Each year, the travel website releases a list of favourite hotels, based on the number of outstanding reviews from travellers over the previous 12 months.
With over 8 million listings on the platform, fewer than 1% earn a spot on the prestigious list.
In addition to the three standout hotels, five Kerry hotels made the Top 25 Luxury Hotels list, and six local guesthouses ranked in the Top 25 B&Bs and Inns across Ireland.
