Great Southern Killarney
Certification: Green Hospitality Programme + EU Ecolabel County: Kerry (Killarney Town) Type: 4-star hotel
Great Southern Killarney holds both Green Hospitality Programme certification and the EU Ecolabel, two independently awarded eco standards. Holding both certifications indicates a sustainability programme that has been assessed under both Ireland’s national hospitality standard and the European Union’s official environmental certification scheme.
The Certifications
The Green Hospitality Programme is Ireland’s hospitality sector environmental standard, independently audited under ISO 17065. The EU Ecolabel is awarded by a national competent body following independent assessment against strict EU-wide criteria covering energy efficiency, water reduction, waste minimisation, and chemical use. Properties holding both certifications have undergone assessment by two separate independent frameworks.
The Hotel
Great Southern Killarney is a 4-star property in Killarney town centre, a hotel with origins dating back to 1854 as one of Ireland’s first purpose-built tourist hotels. The hotel has 171 rooms, a leisure centre, and gardens.
The Great Southern adds to Killarney’s position as Ireland’s most certified eco destination: the Killarney Park Hotel (STN Gold + GHP Gold), The Ross (STN Gold), The Brehon (GHP Gold), Killarney Plaza (GHP + Fifty Shades Greener Gold), Killarney Avenue and Towers (GHP Eco-Label), Cahernane House (GHP), and The Europe Hotel (GHP Eco-Label) all hold independent certifications. Great Southern’s dual certification adds further depth to this cluster.
