Radisson SAS 
$$$$, Galway City
Fodor's Review:
The striking contemporary design of the Radisson has revived a run-down area a stone's throw from Eyre Square and overlooking a land-locked in-flow of Galway Bay, Lough Atalia. Against several newcomers, the hotel has successfully defended its reuptation as Galway's hippest hotel. Potted 20-foot bamboo sways at the entrance, while four palm trees grow in the spacious reception area. Two glass-wall elevators divide the lobby from the bar and waft you upstairs while delivering breathtaking views of Galway Bay. Rooms are spacious, with fully tiled bathrooms, restful, unfussy color schemes, Scandinavian-design contemporary furniture, and comfortable sitting areas. Double-glazing and altitude (starting on the third story) insulate the rooms from noise even on the loudest Galway night. The Atrium lounge and bar, its triple-height windows framing views of the water, is a popular lunch spot and buzzes with life from early to late. A pianist entertains on weekends, and in summer the large terrace with its views of the sea and the distant hills is a lively spot. Also overlooking the Lough, the spacious blue-and-white Marinas Restaurant ($$-$$$$) offers a wide selection of local seafood, as well as a good choice of international dishes.
