Newpark Hotel Kilkenny is proud to announce two prestigious workplace accolades, official certification as a Great Place to Work™ and inclusion in the 2025 list of Ireland’s Best Workplaces in Hospitality. These honours coincide with a major internal milestone, as the hotel celebrates over 1,000 years of combined staff service, recognised recently at a Long Service Awards ceremony honouring team members with tenures ranging from five to 40 years. These awards reflect the hotel’s deep commitment to fairness, wellbeing, and long-term support for its people. The Great Place to Work™ Certification is awarded based on anonymous employee feedback and a review of workplace practices, while the Best Workplaces in Hospitality list celebrates organisations that prioritise innovation, leadership, and employee experience. People are the heart of everything we do at the Newpark Hotel and these awards are a testament to the incredible team that makes Newpark such a special place to work.”
