Hotel Features.
With its imposing stone façade, the Carlton Abbey Hotel was formerly the Sisters of Mercy convent before renovation. The hotel's C Spa offers facial treatments, massage and beauty services including holistic treatments and body polishes. There is a 21-metre swimming pool, a sauna and Turkish bath, and a gym with cardiovascular fitness equipment. There is wireless internet in public areas and complimentary newspapers are available in the lobby.
Benedict's restaurant serves dishes such as Shellfish Bisque and Pot-roasted Jump of Lamb, and the Abbey Bar and Bistro, converted from the old church and featuring a ceiling rising 60-feet high, serves sandwiches and light snacks. The bar also has weekly theme nights. Breakfast is complimentary to guests.

Expert Tip. The Irish National Stud farm just south of Kildare incorporates ornamental Japanese gardens reflecting the beliefs of its founder, Colonel Hall-Walker. His inspired, if eccentric, views on horse- breeding were highly successful.
