The g Hotel & Spa – Arty And Hip To The Touch

Sept. 10, 2012 by UNIQ Hotels

Location:

Galway Ireland West Europe
Design

No, the G here doesn’t stand for ‘Gangsta’ although they may serve Crystal Champagne. Interiors by Philip Treacy OBE (he was the guy who designed the Internet’s favorite hat – the one worn by Princess Beatrice’s at the royal wedding). This top designer used an eclectic style palate drawing from Art Deco, Baroque and Modern styles to create Island’s top 5-star hotel.

The spa is custom designed by ESPA who have 30 years of experience in providing a peaceful counterbalance to accelerated culture. Their holistic ‘Twice as Nice’ treatment won Tatler’s ‘Best Body Treatment’ award and uses a combination of scrubs, hot stones, and detoxing drinks to sort you out. The dining is 5-star and thoughtful packages are available to choose from: the ‘Dinner and Movie’ and the ‘Dinner and Opera’ packages supply you with everything you need for a special night out.

There is a collection of contemporary art, photography, and design handpicked by and on display. And through the windows, God’s own art is on display as swirling cloud forms highlight green Galway Bay.
