The Cork International Hotel has been served a double helping of accolades this week with the hotel receiving praise from two of the country’s most reputable tourism names.

The hotel, which is located close to Cork Airport, has been listed in TripAdvisor’s top 25 hotels in Ireland.  The annual Traveller’s Choice Awards Best of the Best title celebrates the highest level of excellence in travel.

The honour is given to those who receive a high volume of above-and beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period. The travel website states that out of their 8 million listings, fewer than 1% achieve this milestone.

Currently on the website, Cork International Hotel has 3,658 Excellent reviews and 809 Very Good reviews. Among the reviews the hotel has received are:

“We had a warm welcome at the front desk! Very clean and neat room. A very comfortable bed to sleep in! The breakfast was great!”

“Excellent room and quiet place near to the airport. Perfect when you have a very late check-in. Good breakfast.”

“Cork International Hotel staff were very friendly and efficient, the room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel is very conveniently located close to Cork Airport.”

The Cork International Hotel is part of the Trigon Hotel Group which also includes the Metropole Hotel in Cork City.

Both hotels have been certified as an Outstanding Employer for 2024 as part of Fáilte Ireland’s Employer Excellence Programme. The Cork International Hotel has received a Gold certificate which is the highest certification available to a business in the programme. The Metropole Hotel received a Silver certificate.

Trigon Hotels recently introduced new gender identity, fertility treatment and menopause policies. Trigon Hotels also holds team appreciation days throughout the year with annual team awards, a long service award to celebrate the hard work and dedication of their team members, and even their very own ‘Trigon Celebrates Days’ where team members relax and enjoy a treat from the hotel.

Managing Director of Trigon Hotels, Aaron Mansworth, said; “We are extremely proud of all our team members at both the Cork International Hotel and the Metropole Hotel who are extremely dedicated to providing the best service possible to our guests. In turn, we want to make sure that all our team members feel valued and it is important to introduce policies that go towards achieving that.  These accolades recognise the hard work and passion shown by everyone.”
