Welcome to Dublin Hotels

Enjoy legendary Irish hospitality in one of Dublin's 160 hotels. Come explore the medieval heart of this capital with its lively pubs, music, and literary heritage. Tour Dublin's Trinity College, museums, and outdoor sculptures. Stroll the gardens of Saint Stephen's Green and follow the River Liffey to the high-tech spaces sprouting up in the Docklands.

Relax at a pub with a refreshing pint and order a traditional Irish meal of coddle -- a hearty stew of bacon, onion, sausages, and potato -- to fortify for any weather. Strike up a conversation with a local, sure to be a storyteller.

The average hotel occupancy in Dublin is 83%, the highest of Europe's capitals. Two dozen chains welcome you warmly in large hotels, but the great majority of hotels are independent lodging gems. From Georgian mansions to renovated warehouses to charming Victorian townhouses. You will want to say an extra day.

Let us introduce you to a Dublin hotel from budget to business class to boutique. The choice is Brobdingnagian, as Jonathan Swift would say!

Insider Travel Tips

  • From Dublin Int'l Airport to O’Connell Street downtown (Dublin's widest street), hop a blue Aircoach bus (Route 700) in 28 minutes. €10 one-way, €12 return. Operates 24 hours. Slower public buses (Route 16 or 41) cost €2 one-way but take 40 minutes.
  • You can travel to Cork (Ireland's second largest city, 3 hours from Dublin) by train or Aircoach bus. The 704X bus route runs 36 express services daily to/from Dublin Center and Dublin Airport to Lower Glanmire Road (near Leisureplex) in Cork.
  • Experience Irish dancing and traditional Irish music (plus a three-course dinner) at "Celtic Nights" Music and Dance show at the Arlington Hotel. Show starts at 8 pm every night and lasts two hours.
  • James Joyce's Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories (published in 1914) depicting Irish middle-class life. The tales were written as Irish nationalism and a quest for national identity grew.
  • Enchanting evenings of Irish folklore and storytelling await you in a cosy setting above The Stag’s Head Pub on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5 pm (€15 entry).
