Planning a trip to Europe this summer? If you’re a Marriott Rewards member you might want to work in some time to swing through the land of leprechauns.

Rewards members can now choose to stay at two beautiful and historic sites in Ireland: the Ashford Castle Hotel and Country Estate and Dromoland Castle Hotel and Country Estate. The redemption cost is 50,000 points (off peak) or 70,000 points (peak) per night. And regardless of the point redemption rate, you are guaranteed the best room available.

Dromoland Castle has been rebuilt since its original construction during the 16th century, when the O’Brien clan ruled the roost. Both castles provide plenty of activities from golf at Dromoland to participating in a fox hunt at Ashford. You can find more information about both castles at http://www.ashford.ie or http://www.dromoland.ie

It is recommended that reservations be made four weeks in advance, and be sure to let the reservation agent know you are using a Marriott Reward certificate. Reservations can be made by calling (800) 346-7007.
