No Longer Standing, I think. Here is the 6" Cassini map showing the hotel (1930s), and a modern Google maps aerial shot showing quarry sheds here.

The (railway) company built a hotel at Recess, where King Edward VII and his party lunched in July 1903, during his tour of the congested districts of the West. Over the years the company advertising paid off, and the rich and famous came to Connemara to shoot and fish.
Niall McAuley said:
Per the DIA in 1897: The Recess hotel is now far advanced. The greater part of it had to be taken down and re-built. We are doing the whole work under the superintendence of Mr O'Neill, our own engineer. We have no architect for it, and from what I can learn I think it is going on just as well as if we had an architect.

It was home to the Stronge family until 1981, when it was bombed; its ruins were demolished in 1998, having stood for 249 years.

I was wrong; the balls happened later than this! See this stereo pair and a similar one featuring a gent with a strange beard (he might be the topiarist!) - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000560754 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000336780 Ed. The 'gent' image was made into a postcard "c. 1905" - www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1905-tynan-abbey-now-destr...

" ... A 50ft high mausoleum made of black limestone was erected in 1690 by the 20th Lord of Kerry, William Fitzmaurice, at a burial site for the Fitzmaurice clan members.

It stood on top of Killbinane Hill, near Lixnaw, until 1958 when it was dynamited to smithereens by Kerry County Council, who wanted to use the stone for road building. ... "

National Library of Ireland on The Commons There seems to be something, maybe foundations, still there via the Google satellite. Field Trip required, with a picnic and appropriate refreshment.
