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
This is a top quality hotel, in every respect.
We had of course expected that The Merrion would be a quality hotel and it exceeded our expectations in every respect. On check in our suite was not ready but after a very pleasant drink in the beautiful garden-quad, we learned that we had been upgraded to the Bridal Suite! And that was exceptionally nice. It was beautifully appointed, with all amenities that might be expected. Housekeeping was attentive and subtle, delivering an excellent experience. Top marks to them and (presumably) Maintenance too: for example, we did not see one blemish on paintwork anywhere. The service generally, from Reception, to Concierge, to the Restaurants was wonderful. Everyone was polite and discreetly keen to assist and made us feel that nothing could be too much trouble. The food (and drinks!) were everything one might expect and more. Beautifully presented, fabulous preparation, quality products and utterly delicious. The Hotel is well situated, close to everything that you might want but not in the tourist trap. Very highly recommended.

Exquisite!
This is my second time staying at the Merrion and it is such a wonderful hotel. My daughter lives in Dublin and I love visiting her and the Merrion is my first choice of hotels in the city. It is exquisitely decorated and so comfortable and the staff are absolutely wonderful. I feel very special when I stay there. Looking forward to going back!

Tonight’s our last night & we’re already missing the hotel!
Husband and i stayed for 4 nights at Room208. Room is immaculately cleaned and refilled by detailed housekeeping. Concierge always has a smile. Hotel’s very conveniently located within short walking distance to the museums, Trinity College and Graffton Street. Check out Cellar Bar at basement of hotel. The garden at the hotel wonderfully kept with beautiful flowers. Well-equipped gym albeit small. Good quality breakfast spread but a little limited. Kudos to Catherine Lotter - Guest Relations who made sure our requests were promptly attended to. Merrion Hotel is truly a gem
