The Hardiman

Since the arrival of the very first steam train, The Hardiman has stood at the heart of Galway’s business and commercial life. Over the years, it’s been a place where companies were founded, ideas took shape, and ambitious plans came to fruition within the walls of this iconic building.

The Hardiman offers a selection of elegant suites for meetings, conferences, and private events, catering to both small and large groups. The Connemara Suite is ideal for conferences, breakfast briefings, awards ceremonies, and gala dinners. The Mezzanine area within the ballroom provides a more intimate setting, accommodating up to 20 delegates, while the newly opened MacNeill’s Bar, closed to the public during weekday working hours, is perfect for private gatherings of up to 18 delegates. Additionally, the Murphy Rooms offer a discreet meeting space for up to six guests.

For all events, a full audiovisual service is available on-site.

Standing proudly on Eyre Square since 1852, The Hardiman exudes timeless charm and warm hospitality, making every guest feel right at home. For over 150 years, this grand hotel has welcomed distinguished guests and hosted countless memorable occasions.

Located in the heart of Galway, The Hardiman is perfectly positioned for exploring the city’s vibrant social scene. From lively bars and theaters to top restaurants and historic attractions, you’re just steps away from the best of Galway’s bohemian spirit.
