Conrad, Dublin

Within walking distance of Grafton Street, Conrad Dublin is close to the rest of the city centre - with plenty of shopping, dining and nightlife options.

Just off St Stephen's Green, the hotel is opposite the National Concert Hall and near the Iveagh Gardens park.

By plane: Manchester, Birmingham or London to Dublin takes around an hour, after which, it's a 30-minute drive to the hotel. Paid on-site parking available. Book flights to Dublin.

Inspired by the hotel's location - near Iveagh Gardens and St Stephen's Green - there's a clear nature theme throughout. A clean, simple colour palette sees white combined with light green and brown, as well as the use of woods.

Facilities include a choice of fine dining or casual reataurants, and a lounge which has nods to Gulliver's Travels. There's a gym and the hotel can arrange golf, as well as airport transfers or a chauffeur service. On-site parking and a valet service is also available. Service throughout is excellent.
