Michelin Guide "Elegant guest areas... Spacious bedrooms; plenty of extras."
Concierge "Sure, the odd clue that you're in Ireland is discernible—the Celtic seaweed treatments in the excellent spa, for instance—but really, this could be anywhere. If that bothers you, stay away."
Jetsetter "An upscale city bolthole with impeccable service and a hefty dose of Irish charm." Full review
Travel + Leisure "It may be something of an eyesore from the outside... but the characteristically luxurious Four Seasons property has some of the largest and best-appointed guest rooms in town." Full review
Star Service "The sunny conservatory lounge is flawlessly appended to the guests' bar and library to create an elegant, intimate setting befitting the well-heeled clientele. " Full review

The Telegraph9.0
"A handsome, friendly spot: come here for luxury, style and impeccable service in spacious surroundings a 10-minute taxi ride from the city centre." Full review
Frommer's "This purpose-built modern hotel has been outfitted in a traditional style, more redolent of a country house than you’d think from the imposing brick-and-glass exterior." Full review
Gayot "Old World flair on two landscaped acres provides an unparalleled urban retreat."
Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award
"This is Dublin's go-to hotel for old-fashioned luxury that doesn’t feel stuffy. It’s also perfect if you want to stay close to the city center but not in the middle of the hustle and bustle." Full review
