Hotel details

The g's design director is renowned milliner, Philip Treacy, a native of Galway, and his special touch is evident everywhere from the bespoke concierge wall to the artwork in every room. The emphasis is on luxury and glamour, underlining the g’s commitment to a truly unique hotel experience. The dark and intimate reception area sets the tone, with black glass walls acting as a frame for a tank of Connemara-bred seahorses and bespoke concierge wall, designed by Philip Treacy. Covered in white Venetian plaster and reminiscent of a seashell, this is a hint of the surprises to come. The public areas of the g on the ground floor extends to over 18,000 square-foot, with 3 individually styled and themed lounges and a restaurant, all linked by a raspberry carpeted corridor. The impression is of walking through a particularly glamorous dolls house, with golden doorways framing the entrance to each room. From the exquisite Grand Salon to the distinctively pink Pink Salon and more masculine Blue Lounge, the g offers a stunning environment in which to meet and relax. The g hotel, Galway’s only truly world-class hotel, offers six impressive occasion suites for meetings or private entertaining: - Event suite with private break-out area catering for up to 100 people - The Boardroom designed to facilitate meetings of up to 20 people and boasts the Sky Lounge for relaxing between sessions - 4 smaller event rooms for syndicate style meetings The g also offers exclusive use of theatres 1 and 7 in the award-winning and adjoining Eye Cinema complex, catering for groups from 40 to 150. All event suites offer the latest technology, coupled with unobtrusive service, and create a unique and sophisticated environment. Working closely with architects and designers Douglas Wallace, the spa’s design reflects a relaxed timelessness of contemporary elegance. Stone, wood, linen and glass are used in complementary new ways with subtle, warm colours. Mood enhancing lighting is used to calm and comfort, creating a sense of spiritual retreat. Spa details: - 8 treatment rooms - 4 beauty suites - Separate male and female changing rooms - Crystal steam room - Lifestyle shower - Rain shower - Rock sauna - Ice fountain - Tepidariums – heated loungers - Vitality pool with soothing and therapeutic views of the water wall feature - Relaxation room overlooking the Zen Garden - Fitness centre As a resident at the g, the use of the fitness centre is included in your room rate and for that extra bit of indulgence you may relax in the Thermal suite in ESPA for an additional cost.

Food & Beverages

The restaurant, Riva at the g, is set to become Galway’s most talked about restaurant, perfect for both guests and locals. Seating 70, it offers contemporary Italian cuisine with some international favourites added to cater for the many international travellers visiting the g. The g’s distinctive approach to design is carried through to the restaurant, with banquettes in purple velvet and jewel-coloured Andrew Martin chairs. Serving bespoke ‘g hotel’ cocktails as well as more familiar favourites, the g’s Cocktail Bar is deliciously decadent. A carpet of thousands of red Swarovski crystals adorns the bar itself is a distinctive feature, and one that guarantees a glamorous start – or finish – to any evening. The Place Bar is all geometric minimalism in white and black designed for late-night drinking and people watching. Its transient vibe is enhanced by red crystals in the marble floor and mirror panelled walls contributing a dash of downright glamour to the mix.
