Michelin Guide "Landmark Georgian hotel with elegant guest areas... High level of services and extras."
Frommer's "One of Dublin's true grande dame hotels, the Shelbourne hotel has played a significant role in Irish history." Full review
Concierge "An airy, Georgian palette (butter yellow and rose) is brought back to earth by boxy Italian cherrywood credenzas."
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 "A slice of Dublin history overlooking St. Stephen’s Green, with an on-site museum and barbershop." Full review
Lonely Planet "Dublin's most iconic hotel, founded in 1824, was bought out by the Marriott group, who spent a ton of money restoring its rooms and public spaces to their former grandeur, a few years ago."
Travel + Leisure "Keen to research your family's Irish roots? Save an afternoon for a meeting with the hotel's Genealogy Butler." Full review
Time Out "After having had more than €40 million lavished on it by its new owners (this 19th-century Dublin landmark is now a member of the Marriott empire), the Shelbourne is looking pretty damn good." Full review
