HISTORY
Steeped in heritage, The Hydro at Tower was once one of Ireland’s most fashionable destinations.
Founded in the 1840s by the visionary Dr Richard Barter, it became renowned for its pioneering hydropathic treatments and Ireland’s first Victorian Turkish baths. In its golden era, The Hydro welcomed a distinguished clientele - aristocrats, landed gentry, wealthy families, and leading professionals - who came not only for its restorative waters but for the refined social life it offered. Guests strolled landscaped gardens, played tennis on manicured courts, and gathered in elegant reading rooms, all against the backdrop of grand architecture and sweeping countryside views. Today, this storied setting enters a new chapter, as luxury homes rise where history and elegance have walked hand in hand for over a century.
