That might be true if the hotel was located in say London or New York or somewhere similar.
It is in fact located in the middle of nowhere beside a small village.
That kind of rate is on a par with the likes of Ashford Castle or adare Manor or Hayfield manor in Cork City.

I've seen some rates pitched at about €240 a night at the four seasons in Dublin.The market prices at what the market will bear.
Some Dublin hotels not in the four seasons league but with a bare 5 star status such as the Westin or the Shelbourne or the Westbury are often full at those kind of rates.
