Ballyfin · Ireland
Ballyfin is a neo-classical house in County Laois, built in 1826 for the Coote family by architects Sir Richard Morrison and his son.
It operated as a boarding school for seventy-four years before American businessman Fred Krehbiel bought it in 2002 and restored it over eight years into a 21-bedroom hotel. It earns its place through the completeness of that restoration and a Michelin-starred restaurant, awarded a star in 2026 under chef Richard Picard-Edwards.
Known for: adventure, seclusion, wellness.
