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 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

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
