The Montenotte Hotel is a four star hotel in Cork, Ireland.

Built originally as a residence named Lee View House in the 1820s,[1] the house was extended in the 1880s,[1] and became the 'Lee View Hotel' in the 1940s.[2] Operating as the 'Country Club Hotel' from 1960 until 2006,[2] the hotel was renamed and redeveloped under its current name in the early 21st century.[3][4]

In February 1980, U2 performed in the hotel as part of their U2-3 Tour.[5] The cover photograph used on the U2 album "U218" and book "U2 by U2" was taken from the roof of the hotel by photographer David Corio.[6]
