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.

I've stayed in the Merrion every year since 2019 as a treat and it is always something I look forward to. Everything about the hotel is top class. The staff are excellent and make you feel so comfortable. It has the best of old world hospitality and decor while still feeling modern. The breakfast is the best I have had anywhere in the world, one of the few 5 star hotels that have maintained that really high standard in my experience. Like everything, it has become even more expensive to stay here recently unless you book ludicrously far in advance but for me, it's worth it!

Best hotel in Ireland: architecture, decor, food, accommodations and staff. I think it compares well with the finest hotels in London, Paris, Rome and New York. The concierges were exceptional!
