Dublin's calling cards as a place well worth visiting are famous: history, literary heritage, and friendly locals renowned for their Irish hospitality.

But did you know Dublin keeps getting better when it comes to hotels? Here are 10 great places to stay, no matter your budget:

## LUXURY

## The Westbury

This classic hotel enjoys a prime spot right beside Dublin's main shopping street, Grafton Street. A renovation carried out earlier this decade breathed new life into The Westbury's timeless atmosphere: contemporary decorative touches took on an East-meets-West aesthetic in cool, rich tones.

The Westbury boasts more than 200 rooms, each featuring bespoke furniture, Lissadell linens, Sealy mattresses, Aromatherapy Associates toiletries, and Nespresso coffee machines.

While the on-site Marble Bar is more modern than its name suggests, the menu offers a fine selection of sparkling wines and Irish whiskeys. The Westbury is one of the few spots in Dublin where you can still enjoy a traditional afternoon tea.

## Merrion

The Merrion is the very definition of class, dressed in gleaming white marble and beautifully restored Georgian details. The hotel's 123 guest rooms are bright and spacious, finished to an impeccable standard with period-style furniture and Irish fabrics in neutral tones.

The standard rooms and penthouse sit in the Garden Wing and offer all the usual comforts along with luxurious touches like Italian marble baths and plush robes.

The on-site Tethra Spa features an infinity pool, a steam room, and a menu of treatments, while a cluster of bars and lounges offers plush spaces to unwind over a cup of tea or a pint of the black stuff.

## The Dylan

One of Dublin's most fashionable boutique hotels and a favorite haunt of pop stars and social media gurus, the Dylan is pure indulgence, with original Asian-inspired decor that steps away from minimalism with delicious splashes of rich color and detail: think creative headboards, whimsical mirrors, and fresh orchids.

A true boutique hotel, the Dylan has just 44 rooms, each fitted with cloud-nine beds, Mark Buxton toiletries, and iPods preloaded with a walking tour of Dublin.

Downstairs, a chic restaurant awaits with a menu built on fresh Irish ingredients, along with a cocktail bar and a lovely terrace.

## The Marker Hotel

The rooftop is a big part of the Marker experience. Alongside the expected food and drinks with stunning views over Dublin's docks, you can also do rooftop yoga on Saturdays in warm summer weather.

The Marker sits between the Liffey and Dublin's Grand Canal, about 2.2 kilometers (1.3 miles) from St. Stephen's Green.

Rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows that let in plenty of natural light. Irish designers gave the rooms a clean look with modern furniture, and the bathrooms are finished in luxurious white and black marble.

The Marker also offers a range of spa packages, such as "Stay on Sunday, Spa on Monday" and "FriDate."

The Marker Hotel, Grand Canal Square, Docklands, Dublin 2, D02 CK38, Ireland; +353 1 687 5100

## Shelbourne Hotel

This Marriott hotel sets a decidedly elegant tone, from its Victorian brick exterior to its timeless, opulent interior. It has all the features you'd expect from a five-star property, including an indoor pool, a fitness center, a salon, and a full-service spa. The rooms are well appointed in a classic, stately Irish style.

The location, right on St. Stephen's Green, means you're just a few steps from some of Dublin's main attractions.

And while you're surrounded by plenty of excellent places to eat, the Shelbourne's Saddle Room restaurant is a Dublin favorite, specializing in steaks and fresh seafood, complete with an oyster bar. The Lord Mayor's Lounge, meanwhile, serves a traditional afternoon tea.

Perhaps its most unusual feature: a "genealogy butler" who helps guests with Irish roots trace their family tree.

Shelbourne Hotel, 27 St Stephen's Green, Dublin 2, Ireland; +353 1 663 4500

From $2016 per night

## MID-RANGE

## The Clarence

Co-owned by Bono and The Edge of U2, this riverside hotel is all class, with warm oak and chocolate leather.

It has 50 rooms and suites, many of them overlooking the River Liffey. The Clarence qualifies as a boutique hotel, but without all the pomp that defines so many designer hotels. The colors are muted and classic, and the furniture is handcrafted by Irish artisans.

The Clarence is also known for its Octagon Bar and the octagonal glass dome that crowns it, and it was here that its rock-star owners first fell for the hotel and decided to buy it in 1992. Well-founded rumors suggest they can sometimes be spotted having a drink here when they're in Dublin.

The Clarence, 6-8 Wellington Quay, Dublin 2 Ireland; +353 1 407 0800

## The Dean Dublin

![](/storage/image/prev/september-article-image-31-2-2024.jpg)

Opened in 2014, The Dean's exterior is all classic Georgian charm in brick. Inside, you'll find stylish boutique interiors in dark tones with charming splashes of color, all with a 21st-century feel.

There's a certain amount of marketing aimed at the hipster crowd, with rooms categorized as "mod pod," "punk bunk," and Hi Fi (the choice also helps with budgeting). And its amenities speak to that hipster vibe too: a rainforest shower, a Nespresso machine, and even old-school record players for travelers who bring along their vinyl collections.

Sophie's is the popular restaurant and rooftop bar. The Dean is a very easy stroll from St. Stephen's Green in the heart of the city.

The Dean Dublin, 33 Harcourt St, Saint Kevin's, Dublin 2, Ireland; +353 1 607 8110

## Ariel House

If you prefer a quieter spot a little removed from the buzz of central Dublin, you might consider Ariel House. It's located in Ballsbridge, a neighborhood of wide, tree-lined streets.

The hotel sits about 2.5 kilometers (1.6 miles) from St. Stephen's Green, so it's a relatively easy walk or ride back into the center. You'll share the neighborhood with the embassies of the United States, the Czech Republic, and Italy.

The hotel spans three buildings that still hold on to their Victorian charm. A big draw here is the breakfast, which puts the emphasis on fresh, local ingredients. The menu includes homemade granola, poached eggs, smoked salmon, and pancakes.

Ariel House, 50-54 Landsdowne Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, D04 DD27, Ireland; +353 1 668 5512

From $290 per night

## BUDGET

## Jacobs Inn

If you have to see Dublin on a tight budget, consider this hostel, which sits beside the Liffey and about 1.7 kilometers (1 mile) from St. Stephen's Green.

Hostels are a great way to meet fellow travelers. Jacobs Inn encourages that with a social room featuring a pool table, foosball, board games, and the like.

Jacobs Inn is bright and clean, with bold primary colors inside that really stand out. Its shared rooms sleep between six and 12 travelers and come with bunk beds. The hostel also has new "pods" that let you sleep in snug but relatively plush conditions. For groups of four or fewer, there are rooms that offer a bit more privacy.

A simple breakfast, all you care to eat, is included in the price.

Jacobs Inn, 21-28 Talbot Pl, Mountjoy, Dublin 1, D01 W5P8, Ireland; +353 1 855 5660

## Harding Hotel

Cozy and welcoming, the Harding Hotel is on Fishamble Lane, where Handel's "Messiah" premiered in 1742. More specifically, it sits directly across from Christ Church Cathedral, which is visible from some of the rooms, and it's within walking distance of all of Dublin's main sights.

The Harding is a perfect example of the Irish phrase "cheap and cheerful." The rooms are simple and small but well maintained, with modern furniture and soft mattresses. Rooms also come with free Wi-Fi.

The top sights you can't miss in Dublin, including a few surprises

The bar downstairs, Darkey Kelly's, is an old-school Dublin pub. The Harding's restaurant, Copper Alley Bistro, serves a simple menu of Irish favorites.

The Harding Hotel, Copper Alley, Fishamble Street, Christchurch, Dublin 2, Ireland; +353 (0)1 679 6500
