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.

This is a hotel with brilliant teamwork, a long term commitment to all visitors and where you can have the most amazing break away without even leaving the hotel ! On our latest visit Francesca was really great on check in and with a follow up query afterwards. Fiona as always is so warm, welcoming and professional at breakfast as was our breakfast server, whose name we can’t remember. The housekeeping team on Floor 2 - as on all floors where we have stayed - were superb. They are always so pleasant to meet in the corridors and it's a joy to return to your room to find the little touches like bookmarks, lead ties etc. This time we used room service and we were so pleased with the quality and speed Tommy and Naveen took real care of us on arrival and Brian was as courteous as ever and took care of us in the rain on the way to the car. Our main server for dinner on Friday in the Garden Room was brilliant, smiling and kind. We were a large table so service was a key to the success of the meal. The food was beautiful as always as was the atmosphere. Padraig was his usual welcoming, interesting and helpful self when we dropped down for a glass of wine and chat on Friday night. Tracy and the team on reservations were really helpful as we booked to return again. The team of people makes the huge difference to us in any hotel. From the moment you arrive at the door of the Merrion and you are met by Tommy, Robert, Dave, Brian and the rest of the team to the housekeeping and girl in the spa everyone is kind, caring and helpful in such a genuine way. We can see that they all care for their hotel guests and are proud of their roles and the reputation of the Merrion. Credit to the senior management and Peter the GM for years of commitment to the team to ensure that a sense of teamwork and pride permeates every visit whether we drop in for a snack on our way home or have the luxury of a break away in such a warm, welcoming and guest focussed hotel. Apologies to anyone who I should have mentioned by name

Our stay at the Merrion met with every expectation one might have of a first class hotel in a city with almost a mythical reputation - at they Merrion they combine style, charm and sophistication while keeping it both friendly and real; a fantastic experience. Thanks to the entire team at the Merrion.

our stay at the hotel was exceptional. The staff was attentive, courteous and [very helpful. The food was good and the hotel is beautifully appointed. A central location is an advantage of this property. Overall I was impressed with the quality of every aspect of the hotel and would recommend it to anyone.
