Contrasting with its business-complex location near Lough Atalia, the stunning G Hotel has avant-garde interiors designed by Galwegian milliner-to-the-stars Philip Treacy, including a grand salon with 300 suspended silver balls, a Schiaparelli-pink cocktail lounge, and an award-winning restaurant with huge, seashell-shaped, purple banquettes. Shell-motif cushions feature in the sand-toned rooms; you can watch TV from the bathtub of most suites.
The on-site spa looks out on a bamboo-planted forest.
