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

Travel + Leisure "On a peaceful cul-de-sac on the edge of the swanky Ballsbridge area, The Dylan is a design-focused boutique hotel, set in a charming old building." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Don't let the muted Victorian of Dublin's Dylan hotel fool you; step through the impressive front door and find yourself surrounded by playfully contemporary, sexy décor." Full review
