Dublin Hotels

Maybe more than any city in Europe, or at least in the United Kingdom, Dublin has a wonderful mix of traditionally stuffy, formal hotels and new-wave, high end, boutique stops that feature service on par with their older brethren. Dublin mixes old and new with such ease that you will find yourself transitioning from one to the other as naturally as you would cross the street. The following hotels are top notch, but there are also many other fine places in Dublin, too, if these are booked solid.

1. Berkeley Court - Lansdowne Rd., Dublin - website

And speaking of that transition between classic and modern, the Berkley Court is a fine hotel with an odd look, somehow caught between the two.

2. Brooks - Drury St, Dublin - website

Maybe the largest boutique hotel you’ll ever stay in, it boasts some of the best service in town, which for a 100-room hotel, is quite surprising.

3. Central Hotel - 1-5 Exchequer St., Dublin - website

A classic example of a small, beautiful Dublin hotel. The reading room and fire place make it a great place to snuggle into on a cold winter’s night.

4. The Clarence - 6-8 Wellington Quay, Dublin - website

Owned by famous rock musicians, the Clarence is the most likely spot for you to rub elbows with the well-to-do vacationing here.

5. Clarion Hotel IFSC - IFSC, Dublin, Co. Dublin - website

Don’t get this property confused with the budget Clarion hotels in North America; this is a first class business hotel that is one of the most popular in the city.

6. Conrad Dublin International - Earlsfort Terr., Dublin - website

With incredible views and service to match, the Conrad is one of the most sought after addresses in the city, and for good reason.

7. Four Seasons - Simmonscourt Rd., Dublin - website

With huge rooms and a décor that is completely unique to Dublin, the Four Seasons lives up to its sterling reputation here.

8. Great Southern Hotel - Dublin Airport, Dublin - website

If you have to stay by the airport, stay here. While this property is a chain, it tries to be far more than that with service and amenities.

9. Herbert Park Hotel - Merrion Rd., Dublin - website

With large rooms and views of the picturesque park below, the Herbert Park is a cozy spot and a perfect choice for honeymooners.

10. Merrion - Upper Merrion St., Dublin - website

A beautiful hotel with a colorful history, this spot is a great choice if you want to bask in the opulence of Dublin’s upper crust.
