The hotel's location on Upper Merrion Street is right in the heart of Georgian Dublin, just steps away from Merrion Square and the National Gallery. It's a short walk to St Stephen's Green, the shopping hub of Grafton Street and the buzz of the cafés, bars and restaurants of the surrounding streets.
By plane: there are direct flights to Dublin Airport from Manchester (1 hour), Birmingham (1 hour 5 minutes) and London (1 hour 15 minutes). The hotel is a 20-minute drive from the airport.
Stepping in through the front door, you'll find that the rich, old world glamour of the interior - with art, period furniture, open fires and chandeliers - befits the Merrion's location in the heart of Georgian Dublin. The hotel is set in four restored 18th-century Georgian townhouses and many of the rooms have original features.
There's everything you expect from a five-star establishment, from free in-room Wi-Fi and cable/satellite TV to a minibar, bathrobes and complimentary water. Nice touches include a writing desk with stationery, clothes press and butler service. There are drawing rooms, a two-Michelin starred Restaurant, two bars, a spa, a swimming pool and gardens.
