In her article “Checking In: The Woodland Suite Experience, The Montenotte, Co Cork,” published by The Gloss Magazine, journalist Penny McCormick explores The Montenotte Hotel’s innovative Woodland and River Suites. These suites, designed by architects Henry J Lyons and interior designer Róisín Lafferty, blend Japanese modernism with Scandinavian minimalism, creating a serene and luxurious retreat within Cork city.​

McCormick highlights the unique aspects of the experience:

​”This experience is innovative, fun and thoughtful; a native tree is planted for each guest who stays, in a partnership with charity organisation Hometree. One night didn’t feel enough to fully absorb the design details or all that is on offer at this buzzy urban resort.” Penny McCormick | The Gloss | February 2025
