WHAT WE LOVE...

This is a stylish five-star on a tree-lined road in the fashionable Dublin 4 area, just south of the city centre and near plenty of cafés and restaurants as well as the Grand Canal and Aviva Stadium. The hotel was originally a home for nurses and has a lovely red-brick Victorian façade. A more modern rear wing was added in recent years, so there is a choice of rooms in the old part of the building, which has original features like high ceilings and sash windows and décor unique to each room, or more modern rooms in the rear wing. The restaurant is bright and airy, the bar and library are cosy meeting spots and the outdoor terraces are partially covered and heated.

THE DETAILS

Location

We loved the lovely tree-lined roads and historic houses around the area, plus strolling along the canal among autumn leaves.

It's a 20-minute walk to St Stephen's Green and the National Museum. The hotel is in a good location for both the Aviva Stadium and RDS.
By plane: direct flights to Dublin from Manchester and Birmingham (1 hour), and London (1 hour 15 minutes). It's a 25-minute drive to the hotel. Parking costs €20 per day. skyscanner.net
