Greetings to all on Saint Patrick's Day. While things feel a bit different on this particular Saint Patrick's Day, we here at Waterstone plan on finding comfort in a perfectly cooked corned beef, freshly steamed cabbage and a tall pint of Guinness. In honor of the holiday, we wanted to remind you of our four fantastic members in Ireland: The Fitzwilliam Hotels in both Belfastand Dublin, The K Club in Kildare, and Aghadoe Heights Hotel and Spa in Killarney. With different offerings and locations throughout the Emerald Isle, these four properties find commonality in the warm and exceedingly "Irish" hospitality they offer your clients.
