The Merrion Hotel

Overview

Dublin's top hotel was converted from a row of beautiful Georgian housing in one of the most sought after locations in Dublin, only a block from St Stephen’s Green. Far enough away from the energy of the main thoroughfares to be peaceful and quiet, yet a mere five minute walk to Grafton St at the very heart of the city. Housing a spectacular collection of 19th and 20th Century art which is widely considered to be one of the most important private collections in country, The Merrion is famed as being one of the finest art hotels in the world. The Merrion's grand interiors offer the perfect backdrop for these works, resulting in a dramatic and successful marriage of classical architecture and notable Irish and European art. The restoration of this luxurious 5 star Dublin hotel demanded the highest standards and the designers' brief was both simple and clear "To create a space with sensitivity to the 18th century heritage of the building, with light and airy bedrooms." The interior is designed using Irish fabrics and antiques to reflect the architecture and original interiors of the 18th Century Townhouses. Quite simply, if you wish to stay at the finest hotel in Dublin, you stay at The Merrion.
