Hotel · Merrion Street, Dublin 2, Ireland

The Merrion is Ireland's finest hotel — a 142-room property in four restored Georgian townhouses facing the gardens of Government Buildings in the heart of Georgian Dublin. The hotel's art collection — one of the most significant private collections in Ireland, featuring works by Jack B. Yeats, William Leech, and Roderic O'Conor — is displayed throughout the public spaces and guest rooms, making every stay feel like a visit to a private gallery. The Merrion's two restaurants, including the two-Michelin-starred Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud, and the Tethra Spa make it the most complete luxury experience in Dublin.
