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
