A Laois woman is sharing her experience of hosting for celebrities.  

Aileesh Carew, originally from Tipperary and living in Laois since 2005, played a key role in launching the luxurious 5 star Ballyfin Demesne. 

As General Manager from 2010, she recruited staff and shaped the guest experience before its grand opening. 

One of her most high-profile experiences was taking the 2014 honeymoon booking for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. 

The couple had visited previously, with Kanye even helicoptering in from Dublin during a tour where Kim joined him for the final night. 

Aileesh left the hotel in 2014, missing out on a visit by George and Amal Clooney in 2019.

She says Ballyfin makes guests feel at home:
