"I'm not precious about the hotel I stay in for work, just a clean, functional room is all i need, but the Mespil felt much more special, like staying in a really nice hotel, which was quite a treat."

“The hotel sits comfortably on the Grand Canal, presenting a modern face alongside a Dublin landmark. Its location is a genuine asset; near enough to the Aviva Stadium and city center, yet peacefully removed. I appreciate its commitment to sustainability too.”
