| Merrion Hotel |
Dublin City, Co.Dublin, Ireland
Description:
Dublin is renowned for its Georgian architecture and The Merrion Hotel is a working, living example of this bygone era. The hotel comprises four meticulously restored listed Georgian townhouses and a specially commissioned contemporary garden wing, arranged around two private period gardens. Lord Monck built the original houses in the 1760's for wealthy Irish merchants and nobility, while one of the houses, No. 24, was home to Lord Mornington, after whom the hotel restaurant is named, and the birthplace of his son, the 1st Duke of Wellington.
This hotel will transport guests back to Georgian times and has been sympathetically designed to complement the Georgian interior using period colours, antiques, and 18th century style furniture and fabrics. The classically elegant bedrooms and suites, with delicate Rococo plasterwork ceilings and magnificent original marble fireplaces, capture the grandeur of a glittering era. In the hotel's drawing rooms, guest can relax in comfort and examine the glittering French chandeliers and the priceless Irish paintings from the hotel's private art collection. The private conference facilities, which are equipped with the latest technology provide a unique business environment, while for the fitness enthusiast, the magnificent Tethra Spa offers an 18-metre swimming pool, steam room, gymnasium and luxurious treatment rooms.
Situated almost directly opposite the Irish Government Buildings, on the doorstep of the hotel is Merrion Street, where the National Gallery and National Museum provide a wonderful insight into the nation's heritage and culture. A short walk leads to The Royal Hibernian Academy of Art in Ely Place and the adjacent "golden mile" of lively pubs, shops and restaurants dotted around St. Stephen's Green. Grafton Street, with the latest designer shops and restaurants, is but a leisurely stroll away, while the famous university, Trinity College, which is home to the world-renowned Book of Kells, is a five-minute walk from the hotel.
