Dublin:Never a dull
moment
Dubliners have always had a way with words. This is the city
that raised Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett, WB
Yeats, Jonathan Swift, James Joyce and Brendan Behan, and there are
literary landmarks at every turn.
Dublin city is home to numerous theatres and galleries and our
luxury Dublin city hotels are conveniently
located to allow you access to the city. Visit Trinity College,
where The Book of Kells is kept, just a short stroll from The
Westbury Hotel.
Sport plays a huge part in the life of Dublin and Croke Park,
the fifth largest stadium in Europe, is always a cauldron on the
big days in the Gaelic football and hurling – plus, for the time
being soccer and rugby – calendars. A stay in The
Croke Park Hotel leaves you right in the centre of the
action.
There is great shopping in abundance on Dublin’s Grafton Street and Henry Street. And
then, of course, there’s the warm welcome that awaits you in
Dublin’s pubs and bars, plus no end of live venues and
nightclubs.
Whether you are in town for business or pleasure, our luxury
Dublin hotels offer the last word in Irish hospitality. Click on
