This Irish hotel is perfect if you want to live like Blair Waldorf

Kat O'Connor

Do you ever watch Gossip Girl and find yourself daydreaming about living life like Blair Waldorf?

Who wouldn’t want to step into her shoes and live like the Queen of the Upper East Side for a day?

A life of designer clothes, macaroons for breakfast, and the most luxurious hotels sounds pretty good to me.

I got to experience just a slither of that life when I recently visited the Heritage Hotel in Laois.

The stunning spot in the midlands is one of the dreamiest hotels in Ireland and would definitely get Ms. Waldorf’s seal of approval.

The four-star location has everything you could dream of – from flawless food, to comfortable and spacious rooms, and a spa that you’ll never want to leave.

The luxury hotel has perfectly mastered comfort when it comes to its stunning rooms and suites. It offers deluxe, superior, and family guest rooms, as well as Junior Suites, Suites, and Luxury Apartments.

Each room is beautifully decorated and has the most comfortable beds you’ve ever slept in. I felt like a new person after just one night’s sleep at the beautiful Co. Laois hotel.

The rooms also feature a stand-alone bathtub, shower, writing desk, coffee machine, and beautiful views of Slieve Bloom Mountains or the hotel’s breathtaking gardens.

The most accommodating hotel that you’ll never want to leave

The best thing about the hotel is just how attentive the staff are. They’re so accommodating and friendly, and it’s obvious that they want each guest to have the most magical time during their stay.

They went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable and relaxing time during our visit in October and we already cannot wait to visit again.

The Heritage Hotel has everything you could ask for and more including an award-winning spa, tasty afternoon tea, cozy fires, a cinema, and a cool bar where you can enjoy divine cocktails.

The hotel feels like something you’d find on the Upper East Side, but it’s a lot more affordable than a New York stay. It’s a luxury hotel, but it isn’t going to break the bank if you’re planning on an overnight stay or even a weekend getaway.

Why not escape the city and head to the countryside in Laois for a soothing weekend at The Heritage?

You’ll feel like Blair Waldorf, minus all of her New York drama, of course.
