Four 18th century Georgian Townhouses make up one of Dublin's most luxurious hotels. Today, The Merrion welcomes you with the relaxed grandeur of stunningly appointed rooms and crackling turf fires.
EXPERIENCE
The Merrion is always careful to remember its 18th century heritage. All 122 guest rooms and 20 suites are light and airy. The rooms are decorated with Irish fabrics and antiques to reflect the original interiors. The grounds are immaculately decorated with box hedges and lush flowerbeds native to the Merrion's roots.
Guests have a choice of two restaurants, The Cellar Restaurant and the renowned Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud, Ireland's only Two-Star Michelin restaurant. Patrick Guilbaud's pursuit of perfection is obvious from the immaculately presented dishes prepared from the finest local ingredients Ireland has to offer.
The Tethra Spa is one of Dublin's most refined retreats and features a beautiful 60ft infinity swimming pool. A spectacular trompe l'oeil mural creates a feeling of distance and space. The Merrion also houses a spectacular collection of 19th and 20th Century art, which is widely considered to be one of the most important private collections in Ireland.
