WELL, HERE WE are now. It’s the big day. This year has been a write-off – we all know that.
But that doesn’t mean we still can’t enjoy a slap-up meal and row about which bit of is best.
It’s at this point that whoever is reading this must compliment the chef and tell him/her that the turkey “was not dry” and was “incredibly delicious”. Thank me later for reminding you.
So, for the day that’s in it, we want to know: What part of the Christmas dinner is the best?

What about the ibis near newlands cross??
@Potatoe-man: cruelly overlooked again this year.. maybe next time
@Potatoe-man: I was thinking the Aspect in Park west but that Ibis has a bit more class.
The journal writing a full article about a site making an error. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Yep sure the journal will have people looking for ‘Ballinyfin’
In fairness, it looks amazing. Would love to be loaded
Last time I was there the food was not great and the place cold! Was a few years ago though and sleeping was in a dormitory.
Yeah true, but I’ve honestly never even heard of it.. Still great to have the number 1 and a few in the top 10..well done hoteliers
Ah big whoop, it’s east instead of north. I’m sure whoever stays there can figure it out. They won’t be navigating by compass.
Its south-west. East of Dublin is the Irish sea!
Fine seaweed baths they have!
Is it still cheaper than The Shelbourne?
Waterford castle while nice is no where the nicest hotel in Munster not a mind top ten in the world !!
Can’t say I’ve been to either of the other too. But Ashford Castle is glorious
Americans who will spend 600 quid a night on a hotel, 500 quid a day on a private driver guided tour, and then moan at the price of a 2 quid handmade postcard….
A lovely hotel and well worth the visit. I was very lucky to be able to photograph both interior and exterior. The gold room was unbelievable a place of great beauty. Congrats to all both staff and owners. Unfortunately I could not afford a stay there now.
Stayed there for a night to celebrate wedding anniversary last year. An out-of-this-world experience.
Like the moon?
No Laois
Denito, you didn’t go in looking like that photo,did you?
And The Journal get the hashtag for this article (#KIM KARDASHIAN) wrong.
It doesn’t really fit in in Laois though tbh.
It has been there for 200 years, no point in moving it somewhere else now.
So the best hotel in the world according to 300,000 readers of the influential New York travel magazine. Basically, Americans.
Went to college there in the 70′s. Use to be run by the patrician brothers. Beautiful couldn’t describe the surroundings thou some of the brothers were a bit effie.
I’ve always wanted to go to Laos
I wonder do they take supervalue coupons in ballyfin?
Built 200 yrs ago in 2014 ?
Ballyfer was once won in a game of cards
Kim Kardashian obviously didn’t agree. Didn’t she leave early AND not pay the bill??
have your say
