Hotels in Connacht, Ireland

Connacht sits on Ireland's west coast, with a mild, rainy climate that keeps the landscape brilliantly green year-round-summers rarely top 70°F (21°C), while winters hover around 40°F (4°C). It's famous for the rugged Connemara region, where you can hike through blanket bogs in summer or kayak on Lough Corrib in spring, and for the bustling city of Galway, where cozy pubs spill traditional Irish music onto the streets every night. Darker months are perfect for exploring the limestone moonscape of the Burren or catching winter ferry deals to the Aran Islands, while dry weekends from May to September let you cycle the Wild Atlantic Way along Achill Island's sea cliffs.
