The finest online directory for the discerning traveller

The Merrion is located in the city centre of Dublin opposite the Government Buildings. Created from four restored Georgian Townhouses, many of the 143 bedrooms and suites overlook period landscaped gardens. Remembered historically as the birthplace of the first Duke of Wellington, the hotel houses an impressive collection of art and antiques.

Guests can choose to dine in The Cellar Restaurant, which offers simple Irish cuisine expertly executed while Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud, the two Michelin star restaurant, offers more formal gourmet dining. Bars include The Cellar Bar set in the original 18th century wine vaults and the intimate cocktail bar, No 23. During the spring and summer months, guests can relax outside on the garden terrace while the drawing rooms, with their open log fires, are perfect for afternoon tea.

The award winning Tethra spa boasts an 18–metre pool, steam room, fully equipped gymnasium and private treatment rooms. The Merrion offers six impressive rooms available for high–level business meetings or private dining.
