Top 10 Luxury Hotels Dublin | 5 Star Best Luxury Dublin Hotels

Dublin is the capital of the Republic of Ireland, located on the mouth of the river Liffey, on the east coast of the country. Dublin is popular as the city brimming and breathing in history, as most of its structures and buildings are remnants from the 12th and 13th centuries. Some of the popular landmarks in Dublin are the Dublin Castle and the St Patrick’s Cathedral, the latter of which was made back in 1191. When staying in this historically lively city, you should go for a luxury five star hotel that is equidistant to all of the popular landmarks, while also embodying the spirit of the city it lives in.

# 1

The Marker Hotel

The Marker is a luxury hotel located in the Docklands district of the city, and really stands out from the crowd owing to its services, the quality of the restaurants, and the fact that it features some of the most astonishing designs and architecture in all of Dublin. The hotel features a checkerboard facade, and the swimming pool area looks like it’s positively swimming in emerald greens and turquoise. Every facet of the hotel complements each other wonderfully, and all the rooms are steeped in a cool color palette, with focus on shades of powder blues and cobalt. The bathrooms are also luxurious with complementary Malin+Goetz toiletries.

# 2

The Merrion Hotel

One of the greatest attractions of the Merrion hotel is that it’s located right opposite to the Government Buildings, and is walking distance from Merrion Square, the National Gallery and National Museum. These are all some of the prime tourist attractions of the city, and they're all close to the hotel. If you want to go shopping, Grafton Street shopping district is quite close as well. This is a boutique luxury hotel which actually used to be four completely separate townhouses in downtown Dublin. As such, the architecture of the hotel is pure Georgian-styled elegance and charm. The luxury hotel also features three separate restaurants, all of them charming in their own respective ways. Of the three, Patrick Guilbaud is the only Michelin-starred restaurant. Besides the restaurant, the hotel is also famous for its No. 23 cocktail bar, a spot to which all the elite of the city flock regularly. The rooms are decorated in a bright color palette of whites and pastel shades. The Garden Wing of the hotel, at the rear, has a quadrangle of fountains and lush manicured greenery, and is a great place for you to while away your time if you want to simply relax and take a break from exploring the city. Besides the lovely interiors and amenities, the hotel also features flawless service from the staff.

# 3

The Westbury Hotel

Perhaps the greatest advantage of staying at this five star luxury hotel is how well connected it is to all the important sights and locations of Dublin. It’s located in the very heart of the city, Central Dublin, and is very close to prime attractions such as Westbury Mall, the Trinity College campus, and Grafton Street’s Pubs. You can take a lovely stroll in the morning over to the lush sights offered by St Stephen’s Green.

The rooms and suites of the hotel feature neutral shades and hues, along with heated marbled bathroom floors, and complementary WiFi connections. The best suite in the hotel, the Presidential Hotel, is a true luxury with private concierge services, private spa, and swimming pool.

And in case you want to sleep in for the day, there are large black silk curtains that can completely block out the sun for you. Some guests have complained about the fact that the lower rooms can be a little noisy, which is perhaps a by-product of the hotel being so well-connected.

# 4

InterContinental Dublin

The InterContinental is a boutique luxury hotel known for its flawless and effortlessly efficient service. Located further down south at Ballsbridge, this hotel isn’t particularly well connected to the rest of the city and all the prime attractions of the city. As such, this is ideal for those who favor a quieter and more leisurely lifestyle. The hotel itself has enough amenities in it so that you never really need to leave the hotel as you have access to the restaurants, reading rooms, spas, and swimming pools. However, because it’s located within the embassy belt of the city, you can walk over to some chic restaurants, parks, and even bars, and rest assured that you won’t find yourself in a really crowded location. If you love the sea, you can walk over to it within 15 minutes.
