Parknasilla Hotel & Resort

Today Sneem is a popular resort on the Ring of kerry with first class accommodation.
The Irish name for the town "An tSnaidhm" translates into the English "The Knot". There are several explanations as to why a "knot" would be relevant for this small Kerry village. Sneem village comprises 2 squares, North and South. There is a bridge in the middle of the village which acts as a knot between the two village squares.
In March 1978 Sneem was the venue for the state funeral for former President Cearbhall Ó Dálaigh who resided in the area prior to his death.
Former French President Charles de Gaulle visited here on numerous occasions and there is a sculpture commemorating this in the village.

The legendary Casey family of rowers and wrestlers were all from Sneem, the most famous of whom "Steve 'Crusher' Casey" was undefeated heavyweight wrestling champion of the world 1938-1947 and in 1982 he received the Irish Hall Of Fame Award, presented by Olympic gold medallist Ronnie Delaney. There is a statue commemorating him in the village. Thomas Melville, the first head of the British Secret Service, was born at nearby Direenaclaurig Cross.
