Galway is what it is because of the people who shape its character, those who dedicate their lives to making it an experience that so many wish to taste. At its heart is the iconic Hardiman, a hotel that has been an enduring symbol of hospitality, elegance, and tradition stretching back to the 19th century. And for the past 45 years, no one has embodied this spirit more than Margaret Glynn.
