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.

We stayed 4 nights. The service was incredible & the facilities very excellent. Also one of the best locations in central city Dublin. Very close to pretty much everything of our interest. Bus stops right on the street by the hotel. Best of all, the Garden Restaurant was absolutely incredible. We had four breakfasts & 2 dinners, all as good as any very fine restaurant & reasonable prices! One of the best hotel experiences my spouse & I have ever experienced!

Lucky!! Our two week golf vacation ended at this lovely hotel!! From the moment we arrived on the front steps to the departure everything and everyone treated us like royalty. The rooms were beautiful and the Cellar restaurant was amazing! Thank you for spoiling us!!

The Merrion is a very special hotel. Myself and my sister stayed there to celebrate my birthday and from the minute we arrived it was perfect. Check in was seamless with such lovely reception staff to welcome us at the desk. We were shown to our room which had a bottle of champagne, a beautiful dessert and a birthday card, it was so kind. I have stayed in many hotels for past birthdays but I won't forget how the Merrion helped make this birthday so special. The room itself was gorgeous with everything spotless, had everything we needed It had great space and beautiful surroundings inside and out and with a beautiful garden view. The bed was so comfortable and I got a really good night sleep. Breakfast was fabulous, great choice and staff couldn't have been more helpful. Having stayed in so many hotels both here and abroad the staff at the Merrion are the best hotel staff I have ever met. A special mention has to go to Fiona, John, Robert and Raveen. Sorry to those whose names I can't remember as there were definitely more that I met who were also fabulous. They don't have easy jobs but they make it look so easy. The Merrion has such a great solid team. They are beyond professional, so so welcoming, very down to earth and they made me feel like it was a home away from home. I enjoyed my stay so much I wish I could return tomorrow. I missed being there when I left. If you want to experience the best of hotels in Dublin you have to choose the stunning Merrion. Thank you again to all of the team, you are fantastic ♥️

We had a great stay in Dublin. This hotel was perfect spot. Location: Walking distance to all restaurants we chose to eat at, shops, museums, parks, Trinity college and DART train. We did walking tour of Dublin and again were able to walk to meeting site. For Houth took the DART. -The staff were friendly and helpful in a natural sort of way. -The rooms were very nice. -The location is beautiful with patio for tea and lovely water structure. We had lovely afternoon having tea with friends at patio. There is beautiful artwork all over. With the front of building being quite old, but rooms in newer part of building you get the feel of the past but the comfort of the present. -cellar 23 festive -Housekeeping comes twice with turndown service but never intrusive -nespresso maker in room -Even before visit staff very helpful and accommodating -Only potential downsides-rooms house 2. We had family on 2 floors and not together-not sure why when made res months in advance we were not together -I booked through Agoda, and less than a week before trip, I got an email that there was issue with my card and if I did not address within 2 hours, my reservation would be CANCELED. This caused stress, and I am only lucky I saw the email as usually at work I would not be responding to personal emails that quickly. It was never clear o me what the deal was or of this was from hotel or Agoda . My credit card company said the had received nothing and had not denied charge (other than deposit of $60 two months prior that was successful) When I called hotel they said they did not know what it was about but that they were full and checking reservations but that I should also check with Agoda. . Anyhoo-I am not going to use Agoda again. - -I booked

Wonderful hotel. My daughter and granddaughter were traveling with me on a birthday trip. The hotel made our stay in Dublin very special. I appreciated the thoughtful touches they provided including a little robe and slippers for my granddaughter. The hotel has a lovely traditional feel and impeccable service. The location is also very convenient.
