Luxury Dublin Hotels review
Luxury Dublin Hotels review
The Emerald Isle is blessed with some truly breathtaking landscape. If you have never visited the island of Ireland, it may be difficult to get definitive advice on just one place to visit, as there are many beauty spots on the coast and inland that are frequently recommended for first time visitors. You may well elect to stay in an atmospheric castle for part of your journey, but I would also urge you to ensure you fit in a visit to Dublin during your stay - the capital of Eire! If you have grown used to rather impressive surrounds of castle accommodation, and have no wish to step down the opulence when you visit Dublin, here is a short – but by no means exhaustive- review of luxury hotels in Dublin.
The Clarence Hotel
The Clarence Hotel offers boutique accommodation, and is famously owned by Bono and the Edge, global superstars with rock band U2. This 5 star hotel is situated right on the banks of the Liffey, on the edge of party central in Dublin, Temple Bar. The Clarence is within walking distance of some of Dublin?s most famous landmarks, including The Guinness Storehouse, St. Stephen?s Green, Trinity College and the Ha?Penny Bridge. Each room in the Clarence is uniquely fitted out, and every bed is made up with luxurious Egyptian cotton. Not just for U2 trainspotters!
The Pembroke Townhouse
The Pembroke Townhouse offers 4 star accommodation and is located a peaceful distance from the bustle of the city centre, some 15 minutes walk away from the centre of Dublin in the upmarket suburb of Ballsbridge. Comprised of two imposing 18th century Georgian buildings, the Pembroke benefits from large, high ceilinged and airy rooms, decorated in a classic traditional style. The Pembroke is known for its collection of privately commissioned contemporary Irish art.
The Weston Hotel
The Weston Hotel on Westmoreland Street offers 5 star luxury in the historic heart of Dublin. Grafton Street, Temple Bar and Trinity College are just a short walk away. The building was originally home to the Allied Irish Bank, and so the Weston has a grand entrance of marble pillars and mahogany doors. The bedrooms are furnished in a classic style befitting a building constructed in 1863. As you would expect with 5 star accommodation, there is a gym, restaurant, Atrium lounge and bar on site.
When you are planning your visit to Dublin, you are well advised to try booking in advance if you wish to book 4 or 5 star accommodation. For an easy to reach and quick overview of the Dublin hotels available, have a look online at established sites like Octopus travel to get an idea of what is on offer.
