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

Michelin Guide "A smart hotel set over 6 period buildings, with comfy lounges, impressive conference rooms and good facilities."
Frommer's "The Westin makes good use of this building's grand, 19th-century facade (the building was once a bank) -- it promises real luxury and the interior easily fulfills it." Full review
Concierge "Despite the grand surroundings, however, service is friendly and down-to-earth."
Jetsetter "Historic 19th-century bank-turned-hotel in the heart of Dublin with a restaurant and bar." Full review
Fodor's "Reconstructed from three 19th-century landmark buildings across the road from Trinity College, the Westin is all about location." Full review

Star Service "This hotel may lack the superior location of the Westbury, but it overshadows its peer with more distinguished public areas, better service, notable dining and superlative accommodations." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
