The Christmas countdown is well under way everyone, and we’re SO excited!

The thought of glittering warm lights, festive cheer, and simply the idea of cosying up by the fire has us feeling awfully merry indeed. We assume plenty more of you are feeling the same, so this year, why not give yourself an extra treat? Of course, one that keeps in line with our usual festive vibes and adds even more plush to the Christmas season! Well, you need look no further than Galway’s 5-star g Hotel for the perfect little getaway! And a superb festive one at that. With oodles to do around Galway and plenty to indulge in within the g Hotel itself, you’re Christmas will be feeling especially festive this year. 1. The G is a Christmas delight Brimming with seasonal and celebratory flavours, sparkling tall Christmas trees, delightful cocktails and impeccable service, the g Hotel really is the ultimate spot. 2. Treat yourself to Afternoon Tea Why not add some charm with the g Hotel's Afternoon Tea? Their elegant festive edition comes into play on 23 November and it’s only €46 for two! Expect delectable bites that are sure to keep any cravings at bay and, they're set to look utterly adorable. 3. Luxury at affordable prices You won’t want to miss out on the midweek room rates at the g Hotel either - currently room rates are just €70pps. Or you might even feel the need to book their fabulous 12^th Birthday Junior Suite offer as that will cost you only €99pps - a 45 percent save on the usual rate from Sunday to Thursday. As an additional touch, it comes with a bottle of bubbly Prosecco too! 4. Galway Christmas Market If you’re looking for activities outside of the lush g Hotel, Galway's Christmas Market begins on 17 November and runs until 22 December - and we know it's fantastic as our very own team here love to visit each year. 5. Galway is a hub for activity You might also like a romantic ice-skate at Galway’s Leisureland ice rink in Salthill, which is open from 18 November until 7 January. Perfect for all the family too might we add, with prices at just €15 for adults and €13 for any little ones under 12 years. Galway’s Latin Quarter never fails to entertain. You’re only a few minutes away from oodles of attractive bars and pubs, stunning boutiques, plus fantastic food from numerous restaurants and cafés. You could make a full evening of it too by hitting the Druid or the Mick Lally Theatres for a superb show.

For any adventurers out there - Hill Walks Ireland bring groups out to explore and trek the gorgeous mountain areas of Galway and Connemara. If you have some extra dosh in your pocket, it’s well worth your while. Go even further afar by hopping on an Aran Island Ferry just 1.2km away from the g Hotel. The rustic, remote islands are a must see, but be warned, you’ll need that warm woolly jumper plus a snug-as-a-bug coat. One thing's for sure, if you decide to indulge in what the g Hotel has to offer, you're in for one lavish and relaxing Christmas altogether! Brought to you by the g Hotel & Spa in Galway.
