Galway’s 4-Star Hotel on the Salthill Promenade

Salthill Hotel is a 4-star seaside hotel on the famous Salthill Promenade, overlooking the sweeping waters of Galway Bay. With 161 spacious rooms, a leisure centre with a 25-metre swimming pool, three dining venues, and free on-site parking for direct bookers, we offer the complete seaside experience — just 33 steps from the beach and minutes from Galway city centre.

Whether you are visiting Galway for a family holiday, a romantic weekend, the Galway Races, or a corporate conference, the hotel is your base on the Wild Atlantic Way. Book direct at salthillhotel.com for the best available rate, with direct access to our team for special requests, room preferences, and exclusive offers. Among Galway hotels, Salthill is the only 4-star property on the Promenade itself — the seafront alternative to Galway city centre hotels.

Location — A Galway Hotel by the Sea

The hotel sits directly on the Promenade — 33 steps from the beach, 2km from Eyre Square, and minutes from Galway’s best restaurants, pubs, and attractions. The 401 bus stops outside the hotel, and free on-site parking is included when you book direct. Compared with other hotels in Galway, Salthill puts you within walking distance of the beach, the Aquarium, and Salthill village, while staying just minutes from the city by car or bus.
