About the Hotel
Gracefully created from four restored Georgian townhouses, The Merrion is an historic retreat in the heart of Dublin. Only a tiny brass nameplate marks the hotel's unassuming brick exterior, but inside, marble floors and columns and ornate rococo plasterwork ceilings show off the grand style of 18th century Ireland. Each element of the hotel inspires admiration--from the bedrooms adorned with Irish fabrics and antiques to Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud to the soothing ambience of Tethra Spa. Take time to enjoy the notable works of 19th and 20th century art, considered to be one of the most important private collections in Ireland.

Reviews for The Merrion
Old world charm!
If you want to be treated exceptionally well, you must try the Merrion. We have been back at least 4 times because the experience is well worth it. You are within walking distance to multiple locations. The hotel is absolutely amazing with staff that will treat you like royalty. The Art tea is fabulous and based on their private art collection. The rooms are all lovely and comfortable. The hotel is a bit expensive but breakfast is included in some of the choices. Let me tell you breakfast is well worth it, with multiple freshly make choices and a fabulous buffet.

Perfection
This is our second stay at The Merrion and our stay was impeccable. The service, the room, the staff all first rate. We have stayed in many 5 star hotels but this one goes above and beyond. If you have the opportunity to stay at this gem, you will not be disappointed.

5 Star Luxury Hotel
We stayed for two nights at The Merrion and wish we had booked additional time. This is truly a luxury 5 star hotel from the front doorman, to the room, to the restaurants, and all the other amenities. It is well located to the central parts of the city. In addition there also excellent restaurants in the area within walking distance. Would highly recommend this hotel.

The Merrion is The Gold Standard
The Merrion is the gold standard as a luxury hotel. There's never a doubt in my mind when in Dublin, that I will stay at The Merrion.

Elegant excellence
We had a wonderful stay at The Merrion while celebrating our 10th anniversary. The hotel is beautiful, elegant, and incredibly comfortable, but what really stood out was the service. The staff made us feel genuinely welcome, and the thoughtful anniversary surprise was such a lovely touch. Our room was beautiful, the location was perfect for exploring Dublin, and every part of the stay felt polished without being stuffy. The Merrion helped make our anniversary trip feel especially memorable, and we would absolutely stay here again.
