Merrion Hotel
Dublin is renowned for its Georgian architecture and The
Merrion Hotel is a working, living example of this bygone
era. The hotel comprises four meticulously restored listed
Georgian townhouses and a specially commissioned contemporary
garden wing, arranged around two private period gardens.
This hotel will transport guests back to Georgian times and
has been sympathetically designed to complement the Georgian
interior using period colours, antiques, and 18th century
style furniture and fabrics. The classically elegant bedrooms
and suites, with delicate Rococo plasterwork ceilings and
magnificent original marble fireplaces, capture the grandeur
of a glittering era.
In the hotel's drawing rooms, guest can relax in comfort and
examine the glittering French chandeliers and the priceless
Irish paintings from the hotel's private art collection. The
hotel has the magnificent Tethra Spa offering an 18-metre
swimming pool, steam room, gymnasium and luxurious treatment
rooms.
Situated almost directly opposite the Irish Government Buildings,
on the doorstep of the hotel is Merrion Street, where the
National Gallery and National Museum provide a wonderful insight
into the nation's heritage and culture. A short walk leads
to The Royal Hibernian Academy of Art in Ely Place and the
adjacent "golden mile" of lively pubs, shops and
restaurants dotted around St. Stephen's Green. Grafton Street,
with the latest designer shops and restaurants, is but a leisurely
stroll away, while the famous university, Trinity College,
which is home to the world-renowned Book of Kells, is a five-minute
walk from the hotel.
