Salthill Hotel — On the Promenade, Overlooking Galway Bay
Salthill Hotel sits directly on the Salthill Promenade, facing out over Galway Bay toward the Clare Hills. It’s a 4-star hotel with the kind of location that most properties can only put in their marketing — here, you actually walk out the door and you’re on the seafront.
The hotel has been in Galway long enough to know what matters: comfortable rooms (many with sea views), good food, and a genuine welcome. It’s run by the Byrne Hotel Group, a family hospitality company with properties across Ireland.
