A Historic Hideaway for Private Dining & Celebrations
The Oak Room
Step into one of the most architecturally rich and storied rooms at Cork’s Vienna Woods Hotel, the Oak Room. Formerly the house’s grand library, this beautifully preserved space is a protected feature of the original estate, blending period craftsmanship with modern versatility.
A Room Steeped in Character
The Oak Room is crowned by a richly carved vaulted oak ceiling, adorned with wrought ironwork, Ionic pillars, and intricate wooden arches. Along the walls, mythical creatures and serpents peer out from finely detailed panels, while hidden peepholes, once used by servants during quiet billiards games, offer a glimpse into the mischievous charm of the house’s past.
Stained glass windows echo the home’s original honeycomb motif, and warm ambient lighting creates an atmosphere that’s both intimate and timeless, ideal for memorable gatherings and private moments.
Exclusively Yours
The Oak Room has been thoughtfully refurbished to offer guests a completely private dining experience, whether for celebration or ceremony. With the option of a dedicated private chef, guests can enjoy cooking demonstrations, tableside preparation, and freshly crafted dishes in a setting unlike any other.
It’s the perfect venue for:
- Hen & Stag Parties
- Post-Wedding Gatherings
- Birthdays & Anniversaries
- Christenings & Graduations
- Wine Tastings & Chef-Led Events
- Private Group Dining & Celebrations
Adaptable and Accommodating
While the Oak Room is ideal for evening events, it also plays an important role in our breakfast service, serving as an overflow space or exclusive breakfast area for larger groups until 10am. With flexible layout options, it caters to everything from family occasions to corporate dinners or intimate wedding meals. The Oak Room has the capacity to seat up to 30 people in one sitting.
Make It Your Own
Whether you're seeking a dramatic setting for a special meal, a quiet room for a family celebration, or a heritage space that tells a story, the Oak Room offers it all - with privacy, elegance, and a lasting impression.
