Discreet, polished and serene, with a notable art collection, a spa and a garden courtyard. It feels more like a refined private house than a big hotel — the quiet-luxury choice.
Created from four restored Georgian townhouses plus a contemporary Garden Wing (142 rooms/suites), opposite Government Buildings; holds one of Ireland's largest private art collections. · merrionhotel.com
On-site Tethra Spa with an 18m pool; home to the two-Michelin-star Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud. · lhw.com
