Family-Run Hospitality at it's very best

Langtons is an award-winning four-star city centre hotel located in the heart Kilkenny.
Originally Langtons Bar, it has grown throughout the years to become a Restaurant, Hotel, Music Venue, Theatre, Wedding Venue, Shop, Bakery and a Tea Rooms all under the one roof, catering to all your leisure or business requirements.
Langtons Kilkenny has won numerous awards, including the overall Irish pub of the year a record 6 times and boasts interiors designed by world-renowned David Collins. Langtons Kilkenny has a proud family tradition. It is a third-generation family-run hotel, operating within medieval Kilkenny.

Having begun the tradition in 1938, Ned & Bridie Langton ran a public house. The ‘original’ premises were a home from home for many, the boarding house above the pub was always busy, and many a person began their stay in Kilkenny as a guest of Ned & Bridie. The family tradition of a warm welcome into comfortable surroundings and a delicious and hearty meal began.
