The Merrion

I have been to a lot of hotels all over the world, and have never encountered one with the exquisite service this hotel provides. Every detailed is checked from lobby, to restaurants, to accommodations! I was treated so well, I cannot imagine never coming back. The afternoon Art Tea was a full sensory experience with the most delicious scones I have ever had! Creativity was displayed in matching desserts to paintings within the hotel. All in all, highly recommended old world elegance hotel.

Outstanding service. I mentioned to the Bellman that I was thinking of taking my car to the airport because I had a very early flight and did not want to return it in the morning. He told me that I could return the car just a few blocks away and save a lot of time. We walked through the process very specifically I love when employees of their business anticipate what a guest needs. It says a lot about the employee and the hotel. Other employees were similarly helpful. What a rare treat!

The Merrion was a great place for us to stay in Dublin. Perfectly located, the minute you step through the doors you feel like royalty. The hotel has the largest private art collection in Ireland, and the private guided art tour and high tea afterwards was a highlight. The pastry chef creates desserts that reflect some of the pieces in the collection; they were both delicious and so very clever! Every member of the staff is ready to anticipate your needs before you even know them yourself. Beautiful and comfortable sitting areas where you can relax with a book in front of the fire. The Cellar Bar is a very cool place with delicious food and drink, and Bar 23 is a great place for a pre- or post- dinner libation. If and when we return to Dublin, The Merrion will be our only choice for accommodations.

A 5-star which goes beyond! We've been staying at The Merrion for over 20 yrs and along with the continued exceptional setting, decor, ambiance, and great service, the staff is simply the most amazing one could find anywhere. We have stayed in incredible hotels across Europe and the US, but the staff at The Merrion are just a cut above. Professional, friendly, caring, and people who can not do enough to please clients and take care of your every need. They anticipate your desires, look ahead to what may be next on your planned stay and do it all with a smile and kind word. No establishment can compete with this staff which includes people like Patrick the doorman who we’ve known and relied on for some 27 years since we first met him at the hotel and Caroline at the front desk and so many others. Thank you Merrion!

This hotel is beautiful, filled with interesting art and the service was amazing. The room was full of sweet touches like fresh fruit, regularly replenished water, robes and slippers. But the reason I wish I could give 10 stars is the amazing set up for our 9 month old. They supplied Johnson & Johnson baby products, a baby robe, his own stuffed animal to keep and a clean crib in great condition (surprisingly hard to come by)! Wonderful stay, can’t wait to return!
