The Merrion Hotel

The Merrion Hotel is located at the heart of Dublin and is the capital’s most luxurious home away from home. The Merrion contains 142 rooms spread over four impressively renovated Georgian townhouses. The interiors comprise soft colours and tasteful decor. For most visitors to Ireland, Dublin is a must-see destination. Blending exquisite comfort, practised elegance and personalised service, the Merrion is the perfect base for any Irish holiday.

The gorgeous Georgian houses that make up the Merrion were originally built in the 1760s by Lord Monck for the wealthy Irish merchants and nobility for their stays in town. Just two doors down from Lord Monck lived the Earl of Mornington, whose house served as the birthplace of Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington. Later the houses became administrative offices, where Irish author Flann O’Brien (At Swim-Two-Birds, The Third Policeman) once worked.

The Merrion Hotel is home to the 2-star Michelin Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud, as well as a number of on-site bars and pubs. There is a luxurious relaxing spa perfect for unwinding, and a lovely garden area, offering a quiet natural paradise even at the heart of Dublin. The Merrion is rich with history, and its location makes it the perfect locale from which to enjoy Dublin’s charms, activities, and vibrancy.
