A collection of 400 remarkable, independent, and uncommon luxury hotels around the globe, The Leading Hotels of the World announced their 2024 Leading Hotels Membership Awards, recognizing Adare Manor as this year’s Change-Maker. These awards consist of a series of recognitions tailor-made for the collection’s members and celebrate exemplary industry leadership, inventiveness, and dedication to members’ guests, employees, and communities. The Change-Makers award is bestowed upon the hotel that displays an unwavering commitment to improving their community’s physical, economic, and emotional wellbeing.

“Winning The Leading Hotels of the World’s 2024 Change-Maker award is an incredibly proud moment for us here at Adare Manor,” says General Manager Brendan O’Connor.“We believe a thriving community is the heart and soul of a great hotel, and are dedicated to protecting, preserving, growing, and stimulating our community in a positive and impactful way. Our team has made it both our purpose and our legacy to be a beacon for meaningful change, and our focus remains steadfast on blending exceptional hospitality with genuine care for the wellbeing of the people and landscape that surrounds us.”

Inspired and driven to uplift all aspects of its surrounding community, Adare Manor has made it a core principle to foster change, growth, and contribute as best as possible to all that falls within its home region. This award is a direct reflection and in celebration of the following efforts enacted by the hotel:

• Economic Prosperity -As one of the largest employers in the region, Adare Manor provides jobs to reduce unemployment in Adare at all levels and across a variety of sectors that range from hospitality and culinary arts to landscaping, maintenance, and beyond. Deemed Europe’s leading five-star hotel, the property attracts high-end tourists from all over the world who in turn stimulate the local economy through their exploration of and spending at nearby restaurants, attractions, and local stores and businesses, and the property also leans on a significant amount of local sourcing to support nearby farmers, suppliers, and artisans.
• Physical Prosperity -As evident from the sprawling grounds that the estate occupies, Adare Manor displays a strong commitment to maintaining its gardens, parklands, and woodlands, and employs a number of eco-conscious initiatives across the property to encourage environmental sustainability both in-house and from its guests.
• Emotional Prosperity -In an effort to celebrate and preserve the distinct culture and history of the property and surrounding region for centuries to come, Adare Manor underwent the largest restoration project in all of Ireland, and looking to the future, has been named the host of the 2027 Ryder Cup, which will elevate Limerick to the global stage and draw thousands of visitors from all over the world. Adare Manor also supports a number of local charity and educational initiatives, such as hosting The JP McManus Pro-Am which raised 141 million euro, that benefit the local community and contributes to the overall prosperity of the region.

Having won more than twelve of the most coveted and competitive industry awards throughout 2024, this year has been nothing short of extraordinary for Adare Manor. A testament to the hotel’s unparalleled commitment to delivering excellence in every form – from the care of its people and community to one-of-a-kind guest experiences, culinary artistry, luxury across all levels, and maintaining a leading presence on the global hospitality landscape – the property has earned the highest remarks from guests and readers, global editorial teams, and highly regarded industry experts alike.
