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

Insight Guides "Has more character than some of Dublin’s bigger, pricier places, with the first-floor Library Bar a popular spot with literary types. Situated close to Grafton Street. ."
Fodor's "Every city center needs its little oasis, and the Central's book-and-armchair-filled Library Bar—warmed by a Victorian fireplace—nicely fits the bill." Full review
Time Out "This comfortable, 187-year-old hotel is unique in that it's a prime piece of real estate (right off Dame Street near Temple Bar) that the designers haven't yet got their hands on." Full review
