Salthill is one of Galway’s most beloved seaside destinations, and Salthill Hotel sits right at its heart — on the famous Salthill Promenade, steps from the beach and the iconic “Kicking the Wall” tradition. If you’re searching for hotels in Salthill, Galway, this is the one that locals recommend and visitors keep coming back to.
Life on the Promenade
Salthill Hotel is a 4-star property located directly on the Salthill Promenade, overlooking the sweeping waters of Galway Bay. The Promenade is one of the most scenic stretches of coastline in the west of Ireland, and our guests can step straight out of the hotel and onto it. The beach is within walking distance, making Salthill Hotel the ideal choice for those who want sea air, coastal walks, and the energy of a true seaside resort.
Ocean Fitness — Galway’s Longest Hotel Pool
One of the standout features of staying at Salthill Hotel is access to Ocean Fitness, our on-site leisure centre. At its heart is a full-size 25-metre indoor swimming pool — the longest hotel pool in Galway. Guests also enjoy an 18m hydrotherapy pool, a whirlpool, sauna, steam room, and a fully equipped gym. Daily fitness classes are available, and complimentary pool access is included in every room booking.
Prom Restaurant & Bar
After a walk along the Prom or a swim in the pool, the Prom Restaurant is the perfect place to unwind. We serve locally sourced Irish cuisine in a relaxed, comfortable setting, with everything from a full Irish breakfast to evening dining available. Our bar and lounge are ideal for a quiet drink with bay views, making the most of that famous Galway atmosphere.
Close to Galway City Centre
One of the most common questions we hear from guests is: how far is Salthill from Galway city centre? The answer is just 10 minutes by car. Salthill offers the peace and beauty of a seaside resort, while Galway’s city centre — with its famous Shop Street, Latin Quarter, and Eyre Square — is easily accessible. Many guests choose to walk or cycle along the Prom into the city, taking in the views along the way.
