The Western Hotel has been part of Galway’s hospitality story for more than 80 years. Located on Prospect Hill, just moments from Eyre Square, the hotel occupies three historic Georgian buildings whose distinctive character remains an important part of the property today.
The story of the hotel’s family tradition spans three generations of the Keville family, who have owned and operated the business throughout this time. Through the generations, The Western has continued to uphold a proud tradition of welcoming visitors to Galway while remaining a cherished part of the local community.
Over the decades, the hotel has evolved considerably. Its historic Georgian character has been carefully retained, while extensive renovations have brought the accommodation, bar, restaurant and guest facilities to the highest modern standards. This balance of heritage and contemporary comfort has allowed The Western to grow while preserving the qualities that have defined it for generations.
Today, the Western continues to be shaped by the warm, family spirit that has always been at the centre of the hotel. It remains a place where history, hospitality and a strong connection to Galway come together, offering guests a distinctive stay in the centre of the city.
