“This single magnificent suite has stunning views of the 12th century castle and ornate gardens to the back of the hotel,” the resort website says.

“It features all the lovely touches of luxury found in the Staterooms and Grand Suites.

“The Presidential suite is ideal for entertaining with a separate sitting room, an anteroom generous enough to host a cocktail reception and a dining room all serviced by a dedicated elevator so that meals may be delivered directly from the kitchen below.”

The suite costs upwards of $72,700 a night.

Kim and Kanye's Italian Wedding

Kardashian, 33, who found fame in the reality television series Keeping up with the Kardashians, then married 36-year-old rapper West at a lavish ceremony in front of a wall of flowers at a medieval fort in Florence, Italy.

Ireland’s tourism chiefs are hoping to cash in on the celebrity couple’s honeymoon.

Tourism Ireland marketing director Mark Henry was quick to welcome them to the country on Twitter.

“We’re working hard to produce a guide for their fans about where they are, or rather where they might be,” he told the Irish Times.

“We’d love to be able to give their millions of followers the information so maybe they can follow in their footsteps. It’s a global story.”
