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
OysterLuxury
"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

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

Fodor's "Classic 1930s American movies seem to have been the inspiration for the interior of this medium-size hotel in the heart of Temple Bar." Full review
Lonely Planet "Behind the Victorian facade, the lobby is a faithful re-creation of a 1930s hotel, complete with dark-wood floors, deep-red leather Chesterfield couches and heavy velvet drapes." Full review
OysterUpper-middle-range
"The 64-room Paramount Hotel is located in the popular Temple Bar area, the "cultural quarter" of Dublin known for its nightlife." Full review
Time Out "You'd never guess it from sitting in the Turk's Head bar on a Saturday night, but this hotel is something of a hidden gem." Full review
Star Service "With a discreet entrance tucked onto the side street, this voguish art-deco hotel occupies a rehabilitated historic building a block north of Dublin Castle and the city hall." Full review
