Special promotion for GAA fans travelling to Cork v Waterford game on Sunday

The Imperial is one of the most impressive hotels in Cork

Munster man, Louis Fitzgerald is pleased to offer fans travelling to the Cork v Waterford match next Sunday in Cork, a special 10% discount off bed & breakfast in the four-star Imperial Hotel, Cork for either Saturday or Sunday, May 24 or 25.

The Fitzgerald family purchased the Imperial in 2023, and since then have carried out beautiful upgrades to hotel, most notably the new Fitzgerald’s Bar.

The extensive refurbishment has transformed the bar, while respecting the hotel’s 200-year history. The high ceilings and crystal chandeliers synonymous with this period property add grandeur and are complemented by elegant marble and glass stained columns featuring ornate detailing and portraits of historical figures connected to the building’s past.

With its high ceilings, sweeping staircase and original architectural features, the Imperial is a place that blends old-world grandeur with boutique charm. 

Helena’s Restaurant offers graceful, ambient dining with an emphasis on modern Irish cuisine, while Fitzgerald’s Bar adds a dash of Gatsby-era glamour to Cork’s social scene. Whether it’s your first visit or a long-standing favourite, the warmth of the welcome remains as timeless as the building itself.

The Louis Fitzgerald Group, one of the largest family-run hospitality groups in the country, purchased the iconic 4-star Imperial Hotel last June and have been investing heavily in the hotel, their first venture in the Cork market.
