Michelin Guide
"Elegant hotel... spacious bedrooms."
Frommer's
"Housed in four restored Georgian houses, the Merrion is a deeply feminine, traditionally elegant hotel." Full review
Concierge
"In a city of spotty service, the staff here does a good impression of having had decades of practice, and the look of the place is weathering beautifully."
Fodor's
"Stately and spiffy, and splendidly situated... this luxurious hotel actually comprises four exactingly restored Georgian town houses." Full review
Lonely Planet
Top Choice
"This resplendent five-star hotel, in a terrace of beautifully restored Georgian townhouses, opened in 1988 but looks like it's been around a lot longer." Full review

Luxury
"The Merrion is Dublin's most exclusive luxury hotel, and has a convenient location across from the Government buildings in four 18th-century townhouses." Full review
Time Out
"Housed inside four restored, listed Georgian houses, the Merrion doesn't shy away from a little frill here, a delicate striped couch there." Full review

Time Out
"The long-established Conrad, on a prominent site on the corner of St Stephen's Green, is a firm favourite among the suited, laptop-wielding types who've made Dublin the business hub that it is." Full review
Fodor's
"The best thing about the ugly-on-the-outside, seven-story, redbrick and smoked-glass Conrad is the spectacular views out over the city." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"A palette of soft, leafy greens dominates the rooms, with bespoke touches such as wrought iron branches on fixtures and fittings." Full review
Gayot
"Warm, residential style gives this business hotel a home away from home feel."
Condé Nast Traveler
""Out of the hustle-bustle of the city" yet "a 20-minute walk from the heart of Dublin," this roughly 10-year-old property fits in with such august Georgian neighbors as the Royal Dublin Society." Full review
The Telegraph
8.0
"The reassurance of a top five-star hotel brand, together with a commanding central location, a recent revamp, and excellent facilities, combines to make the Conrad a Dublin destination in its own right." Full review
Frommer's
"Dublin outpost of Hilton’s high-end brand is all about the luxury. Beds in the spacious, modern guest rooms are sumptuously comfortable...feels somewhat like an American-style business hotel" Full review
Lonely Planet

Independent
"One of the finest hotels in town. The rooms strike the perfect balance between style and comfort, with an emphasis on Irish heritage...Breakfast is a highlight, with cafetieres on every table"
