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

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

"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

Although St. Stephen's Green is definitely less noisy than Temple Bar, you may want to ask for a room on one of the upper floors.
Concierge "As chic as it is elite... the Fitzwilliam's bedrooms have been refurbished but remain the epitome of good taste."
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"You couldn't pick a more prestigious spot on the Dublin Monopoly board than this minimalist Terence Conrad–designed number overlooking the Green." Full review

Ask for a corner room on the 5th floor (502 or 508), with balmy balcony and a view.
