Customer Review
5 out of 5
The Ambassador Hotel is located right in the heart of vibrant Cork city. The hotel exudes luxury and elegance and this is apparent as soon as you walk through the doors. It sits on quiet grounds overlooking some breathtaking views of Cork city, the River Lee and harbour.
The hotel was built in 1872 and was previously a Military Hospital and then occupied as a nursing home. Since it first opened its doors as a charming hotel in 1997, it has become a very popular place to stay.
