We were in the British Isles for a month and The Merrion was our hotel highlight. Elegant, beautiful, refined - and an incredibly caring and helpful staff. Definitely encourage all take some time to explore the art collection with their audiotour.

Exceptional customer service, with a commitment to making our stay comfortable. Rooms were spotless, and the facilities were well-maintained. Delicious food in The Garden Room Restaurant! Special thanks to Fiachra for making our stay even more special!

We stayed at the Merrion for four wonderful nights in September 2023. The Merrion is not an ostentatious or showy hotel; its façade is a row of town houses blending seamlessly into the streetscape. The public rooms house lounges and bar spaces that feel homely and elegant rather than grand. This is completely congruent with the warm, polished service that is unfalteringly offered, and the unusually welcoming and relaxed atmosphere for such an elevated luxury hotel. We stayed in a deluxe king room in the main house. The room felt classic, but not dated. It was spacious, and really felt more like a junior suite with its separate sitting area. The marble bathroom was large, functional and luxurious. There was no view (I suspect few of the main house rooms would) though was light and airy due to its significant size. A special thankyou to housekeeping with perfect morning and turndown service. We enjoyed the hotel's services extensively. The concierge organised a wonderful walking tour of the city. They clearly choose their guides carefully. The pool and fitness facilities are excellent. We had multiple late lunches at the Garden Room- Dublin had beautiful weather for our visit- sitting in the sun in this immaculate setting, with a glass of champagne and perfectly prepared food were defining memories of our stay in the city. Breakfast was excellent. Food and drinks are not unreasonably priced (particularly in light of the quality). The staff are simply wonderful- able to engage their guests without being overly familiar. The hotel oozes a sense of good management- enabling the impeccable staff to perform their duties with aplomb. The hotel is perfectly located in Dublin. The immediate surrounds are dominated by public and government buildings, which makes the atmosphere, particularly in the evening, quiet rather than buzzy. My only slight complaints from the stay were that we didn’t enjoy either of the restaurant suggestions from the concierge (I would particularly take care with Café en Seine), and that we missed booking Patrick Guilbaud in time. For a much accoladed luxury hotel, The Merrion was notable for never feeling imposing, stuffy or self important. It felt friendly and comfortable, without sacrificing superb service. We would return to this hotel without hesitation.

Wonderful dinner in the Cellar Bar. It was my birthday. The food was amazing. The maitre very friendly. Very recomendable. We even got glasses of complimentary champagne. The ambience of the whole place down in the ancient wine cellars is just beautiful.

The Merrion is world class, first rate luxury in every sense of the word. All personnel are extremely attentive to the smallest detail. The concierge worked with me well in advance to assure that my family’s stay in Dublin has been absolutely flawless. They arranged for all the transfers and details of the trip, including a private guided walking tour of the city of Dublin which was fabulous. The furnishings and linens are as comfortable as any I have ever experienced. The service is extremely courteous and friendly. In short, we don’t want to leave, and we will certainly be back!
