A Wicklow Wonder: Irish Startup Revolutionises Luxury Gifting Globally

Wicklow-based Hotel & Spa Resorts.com reports a spectacular 187% jump in sales as its luxury hotel gift vouchers sweep across more than 75 countries, offering unparalleled flexibility and personalised travel experiences.

Wicklow’s very own Hotel & Spa Resorts.com is fast making waves—not just in Ireland but across the world. Founded by the dynamic duo Adrienne Stewart and Zoë Byrne, this innovative startup has created a unique category in luxury gifting: a flexible hotel gift voucher that opens doors to more than 10,000 premium hotels across 75 countries.

From the cosy charm of Ireland’s finest hotels to iconic addresses like Claridge’s in London, Bvlgari Hotel Paris, and The Ritz-Carlton New York, one voucher can unlock a world of exceptional stays. And it’s this kind of choice and flexibility that’s driving a staggering 187% surge in sales in just 11 months.

What sets Hotel & Spa Resorts.com apart is the seamless experience. Whether you’re shopping online and receiving your voucher digitally in an instant or selecting elegant gift packaging for that personal touch, the process feels effortlessly luxurious.

But it doesn’t stop there. The company’s AI Concierge, available round the clock, offers a bespoke planning service for both buyers and recipients, transforming a simple gift into a personalised travel journey.

Adrienne Stewart sums it up: “Traditional gifting hasn’t kept pace with how people live today. Our vouchers give the freedom to choose—from a relaxing spa weekend in Cork to a vibrant city break in Paris. For Irish expats, the ability to gift home or abroad makes it all the more meaningful. We want to make luxury gifting simple, thoughtful, and elegant.”

With the festive season just around the corner, the corporate gifting market is also showing strong signs of growth. Companies are moving away from generic hampers and cash cards, instead opting to reward staff and clients with experience-led gifts that truly resonate.

Zoë Byrne adds, “We’ve built something simple, elegant, and scalable—an Irish innovation that’s ready to travel the world.”
