Aran Islands Hotel hosts multi-day corporate meetings, workshops and weddings in Kilronan, the main village of Inis Mór, the largest of the Aran Islands off County Galway. The hotel states space for up to 130 guests. It has 22 hotel bedrooms and 40 Seaview Bedroom Chalets on site, a marquee for sessions, a bar and restaurant, and a team that coordinates the ferry crossing and on-island transfers for groups.
Seminars and company events
The hotel offers itself as a base for residential events: multi-day meetings, workshops, presentations and team retreats. Sessions are held in The Marquee, a flexible space the hotel recommends for working gatherings. Because the whole group sleeps, eats and works in one place, there is no daily commute and no dispersal in the evening.
The hotel says it can accommodate up to 130 guests for a corporate event. When a group is larger than the beds on site, the hotel works with nearby guesthouses so that everyone stays on the island.
Team-building is built around the island itself. The hotel lists historic sites, guided nature walks and cultural experiences, and its website also presents a dive academy and a hiking offer that can fill a free afternoon.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are sold as a full package: ceremony options, reception, menu and accommodation. The hotel publishes a wedding brochure and takes enquiries for 2027, 2028 and later years. The wedding page does not state a maximum number of guests, so confirm it when you ask for a date.
Rooms and capacities
The named event space is The Marquee, used for meetings, workshops and presentations. Its capacity and layouts are not published. Ask for seated, theatre and banquet figures for your date, and for the largest wedding the hotel has hosted.
Accommodation
The hotel has 22 bedrooms in the main building. In addition, 40 Seaview Bedroom Chalets stand on raised ground, each with a private deck and a view over the island and the sea. Guests beyond these 62 rooms can be placed in partner guesthouses.
Catering
Meals are served in the hotel's bar and restaurant. For meetings the hotel proposes buffets, barbecues or light snacks, and for the evening group dinners built around locally inspired dishes. A cooked breakfast is served on site. The bar has an open fire and a full range of drinks, which is where most groups gather after the working day.
History and setting
The hotel describes its welcome with the Irish phrase Céad Míle Fáilte, one hundred thousand welcomes, and many guests treat it as a home base on the island. Inis Mór is known for its walking routes, its stone forts and a local rhythm in which the island fills with life after the last boat has left. For an organiser, this means a quiet, self-contained setting with few outside distractions.
Getting there
Inis Mór is reached by ferry or by a short flight with Aer Arann. The hotel arranges ferry coordination and transfers on the island. The last boat leaves at 5 pm, so plan arrivals and departures around the ferry timetable, and leave margin for sea conditions in winter. The hotel is at Kilronan, Inis Mór, Aran Islands, County Galway, H91 DH27.
