Insight Guides
"This grand old institution has competition as Dublin’s finest hotel these days, but it still boasts a historic aura that’s hard to beat, with a liveried doorman and the best address in town."
Jetsetter

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
