Hotels in Dublin: some general recommended hotels
Dublin should be on everyone’s travel itinerary if they spend more than a day or two in Europe. It is a city with a great history of history, entertainment and popular culture. It’s now easy to get to: the airport is only 7/8 miles from the center and is served by budget airlines Ryanair and Aer Lingus, as well as many other airlines.
After you have convinced him to visit, where should he stay?
Stay in the center. Most people only stay a night or two. If you want to make the most of your stay, consider hotels in the city center. See below for a brief review of the hotels that have been personally reviewed and visited.
FIRST CLASS HOTELS IN DUBLIN: If money is no object, we suggest the Merrion Hotel in Dublin. It is in the heart of Dublin, opposite the government buildings,
It is independently owned and luxurious with great historical character and all the amenities you would expect from 5 star accommodation with a swimming pool, leisure center and two restaurants (one with a Michelin star). He is discreetly discreet, friendly and calm.
The Four Seasons is in Dublin, but it’s a bit further out.
BUSINESS/LUXURY HOTELS: The Radisson/Westin and Conrad hotels are represented in the city centre, but our advice is to choose between the Fitzwilliam, a beautiful 5-star hotel overlooking St Stephen’s Green or the good quality Alexander Hotel /St Stephens Green – hotels for business visitors. They know what they are doing. The grand old dame of Dublin hotels on O’Connell Street – the Gresham is an iconic 4-star hotel. Or watch out for Brooks, a small boutique hotel tucked away in the heart of the city. Small and with a fabulous reception, it was Hotel of the Year in 2008.
GOOD QUALITY HOTELS: If you are looking for great prices and comprehensive facilities, the Camden Court Hotel is a good 3-star candidate. It has a leisure center and free parking.
The recently refurbished Ashling Hotel overlooking the River Liffey is receiving good reviews. It is family owned, but it is a large hotel with car parking on site. Cassidys Hotel is a first class 3 star hotel at the top of O’Connell Street which we also recommend. It has great comfort, character and very affordable prices.
CHEAP AND CHEERFUL – Jurys and Maldron hotels are well-known chain brands in Ireland, while Harcourt Hotel consistently offers good hotel accommodation at a low price. The two and three star markets are represented by a large number of small, old-style hotels. For those who want to be close to the heart of the action, the Arlington Temple Bar and Arlington Hotel are well located near Temple Bar.
