Housed within the West Wing at Russborough House, the Beit Residence and Garden Apartment echo the opulence and grandeur of the main house. This house enjoys a spectacular setting with magnificent views of the Blessington Lakes and the Wicklow Mountains beyond.

Sir Alfred and Lady Beit bought Russborough House in 1952, chiefly to hold their art collection and spent many years restoring this truly magnificent Palladian style house. In 1976, Sir Alfred and Lady Beit generously gifted the house and the renowned art collection to the people of Ireland by establishing the Alfred Beit Foundation. It was at this time that they relocated to live full-time in the West Wing until 2005. Russborough House opened to the public in 1978, and it is lavishly furnished with fine furniture, tapestries, porcelain and silver.
