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
Concierge "In a city of spotty service, the staff here does a good impression of having had decades of practice, and the look of the place is weathering beautifully."
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
"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
Star Service "Thanks to management's adept style and the meticulous staff, this hotel comes off as a cozier version of the Four Seasons." Full review
The Telegraph9.0

Travel + Leisure "Occupying a cluster of four stately Georgian houses, The Merrion embodies the classical glamour of the 18th century, with a subtly modern twist." Full review

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

A chauffeur gladly transports guests into the heart of the city center free of charge upon request.
Fodor's "The impressive landscaping—it has 4 acres of gardens—aims to make the hotel seem like an oasis." 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
