Photos: A sampling of the varied accommodations in The West — (clockwise from top left) Hodson Bay Hotel, Athlone, Co. Westmeath; The Galway Radisson Hotel, Galway City; Pier House, Inishmore, Aran Islands; Galway Bay Hotel, Salthill, Galway, on the terrace overlooking Galway Bay; St. Clerans Manor House, Craughwell, Loughrea, Co. Galway; and the entrance sign at Buttermilk Lodge, Clifden, Connemara, Co. Galway.

From historic country manors and a world-renowned 5-star castle, to modern hotels and resorts, coastal and riverside guesthouses, and family-run bed-and-breakfasts, the West of Ireland offers a dazzling variety of accommodations.

Here are almost 100 of my favorite choices in the region — this is not meant to be an exhaustive list, just a sampling in all areas, categories and price ranges.
