Central Hotel

This cheap hotel option is right in the centre and handy for the main train stations. It harks back almost 200 years to a time before every hotel seemed to be trying to become a trendy boutique abode. It is very old school Dublin and as such boasts some impressive period features in its façade and public areas and the rooms have also recently been refurbished. A nod to the times is the free Wi-Fi, though snuggle up in the Library Bar and the years still drift away.

Enjoying a great location on the north bank of the River Liffey, near the Millennium Bridge, the recently expanded Morrison Hotel is not only an oasis of tranquillity but also a showcase for the talent of Ireland's internationally renowned designer John Rocha. The interior is unashamedly chic, modern and minimalist, juxtaposing wood, stone and steel with exotic fabrics and richly coloured velvets to create a spacious, clutter-free and comfortable environment, based on the theme of 'East meets West'. All 138 bedrooms are equipped with high-tech gadgets and the various bars, restaurants and the nightclub are popular with the local style brigade.

Luxurious and ultra-modern, The Fitzwilliam commands a striking central location, with the calm and tranquillity of St Stephen's Green to one side and Grafton Street, Dublin's most prestigious shopping area, to the other.

The Shelbourne

A veritable Dublin institution immortalised in James Joyce's epic Ulysses (1922), the 5-star Shelbourne Hotel has been home to the rich and famous (and even royalty) since its opening in the 18th century. Irish history has unfolded within its walls; the British garrisoned the hotel during the 1916 Easter Rising and, in 1921, it was the setting for the signing of the Irish Constitution. Today, centrally located beside St Stephen's Green, with 265 opulent rooms, celebrated bars and restaurants, and a smart health club, it remains one of Dublin's most distinguished hotels.
