“This is a grand property that exudes history and luxury in the heart of Dublin, right on St. Stephen's Green; I picture afternoons spent over tea in the Lord Mayor's Lounge. The in-house Genealogy Butler is a fascinating touch, and I can imagine lingering in the Horseshoe Bar over a glass of whiskey. Though some found the service inconsistent, the setting itself promises a memorable stay.”

The concierge staff was attentive. They made last minute reservations. They were very knowledgeable about local activities. The restaurants and bars offered enjoyable experiences, important due to unpredictable weather. I particularly appreciated the salon downstairs, the team was VERY friendly and professional. The whole operation was worth it. The hair salon downstairs was clean.

The breakfast service felt CHAOTIC and crowded on most mornings. Waiting in line was a bit inconvenient.
