The Bar/Lounge at The Westbury

"Well-run hotel with a stylish bar, a comfy lounge (popular for afternoon tea) and state--0f-the-art conference facilities; modern artwork features throughout"

"The oddly titled Wilde–The Restaurant serves upscale lunches and dinners; while the street-level bar and brasserie Balfe's goes for a more relaxed menu and feel"

"The hotel also has an upscale restaurant, Wilde, named after the writer Oscar Wilde, a casual restaurant called Balfes, and the Marble Bar"

"Located in Dublin’s city center, the Westbury Hotel is located just off Grafton Street, next door to the high-end Westbury Mall, and close to Trinity College and Temple Bar"

"The understated style of its guest rooms (and the myriad luxurious touches, such as the Acqua di Parma bathroom products) exudes wealth and sophistication, while its bright, spacious lobby is a discreetly grand place to stop for a drink (either in the high-rolling bar or in the café overlooking Grafton Street)"

"There’s also a more relaxed bar and bistro"

"In the main lounge, angular modern chandeliers are paired off with historic portraits, muted bone hues contrast with rich wenge wood, and creamy marble floors are softened with boldly realized area rugs"

"• Choose from 11 room categories, ranging from the 270-square-foot Superior Classic to the 1,507-square-foot Presidential Suite, which comes with a bar, dining area and lounge, original work by Irish artists, a steam room and sauna in its own private wing of the boutique hotel"

"And Dublin’s famous Temple Bar, an institution since 1840, is within easy stumbling distance home"
