The Fitzwilliam Hotel Dublin

The Fitzwilliam has become one of my favourite hotels for business trips to Dublin - to the point where staying anywhere else now feels like an unnecessary experiment. The location is brilliant, the rooms are extremely comfortable and I consistently get an amazing night’s sleep. In fact, the beds may be slightly too comfortable. Getting up for a morning meeting requires considerably more discipline than it should. But the real reason I keep coming back is the staff. The welcome is always warm, genuine and unmistakably Irish. Everyone is attentive without hovering, friendly without being forced, and you never get the impression that hospitality is something they’ve learned from a training manual. Alejandro, front of house, deserves a special mention. It is always a joy to be checked in by him. He remembers you, welcomes you back like an old friend and somehow manages to make arriving for a business trip feel like coming home. Frankly, I receive a warmer welcome from Alejandro and the team than I do from some members of my own family. The food is also excellent and breakfast is dangerously good. I’m normally a fairly sensible breakfast person, but the Fitzwilliam has repeatedly demonstrated that I apparently have no self-control when presented with a hotel buffet. The bar is another favourite - perfect for meeting friends for a drink before dinner and even better for returning afterwards for a “quick nightcap.” We all know there is no such thing as a quick nightcap in Dublin. Ultimately, there are plenty of beautiful hotels with comfortable rooms and good locations. What makes the Fitzwilliam stand out is that it has something much harder to manufacture: genuinely lovely people. Great rooms. Excellent food. Fantastic location. Brilliant staff. Wonderful atmosphere. One of my favourite hotels in Dublin and somewhere I genuinely look forward to returning to.

Located in an ideal place across from a beautiful park and in the center of town. It is not too big so they give clients personalized attention. The lounge is nice, the food is good and so is the breakfast. If I return I would go back as it is also walking distance to many important locations to visit and many many restaurants.

We enjoyed our stay overall. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location is fantastic—central to plenty of shopping (including a mall nearby if you forget anything), restaurants, and a lovely park for walking. Unfortunately, the available room types during our stay didn't fully accommodate our needs, and we weren't able to get a room with a view of the park. However, the manager on duty was extremely accommodating and did everything possible to assist us despite the fully booked options. Breakfast was good and met our expectations.

The Fitzwilliam Dublin is our favorite place to stay when in Dublin. It has great service, lovely rooms and restaurants. Grafton Street and Stephen’s Green are steps away/just out the door. Highly recommended.

A superb location and great service. The room well appointed and comfortable. The concierge staff and in particular, Samuel. was a great help and very reliable. Our unfortunately very early AM departure was handled with efficiency the promised airport transportation waiting at the door. I joined their "Preferred" marketing group and was thoroughly impessed with our stay.
