The location trade-off
What you're near — and what you're not
Walkable
National Gallery and Merrion Square (across the road)
Government Buildings (opposite)
Grafton Street and Trinity (short walk)
Cut off from
The river and Temple Bar (a longer walk)
It's a calm government-district setting, not a nightlife one
Rooms & rate
What you're paying for
Rooms and suites split between the main Georgian houses and a quieter garden wing; the garden-wing rooms tend to be calmest, while the main-house rooms carry the most period character. An indoor pool and spa are on site.
