Known affectionately by Corkonians as The Met,

The Gresham Metropole is an historical and architectural

landmark in the centre of Cork city. Behind our historical

brick façade you’ll find 112 fully modernised rooms and

beautifully refurbished public spaces with plenty of period

details. We look forward to welcoming you to Cork and

the Gresham Metropole.
