Your bedroom is quiet, but yet you’re in the heart of Dublin. And there’s nobody there but you. Bliss! Solo travel is the ultimate luxury. You don’t have to be reasonable or considerate. You don’t have to please anyone. And you definitely don’t need to consult with the group. Your time is your own.

Take a moment to revel in your bedroom. So comfortable. So stylish. You can feel the quality in everything you touch. It’s just what you’d expect from the Westbury hotel and you know you’ve come to the right place. You’re undisturbed, unless you want something (if you do, anything you need is at hand). Outside, the city beckons. Let the solo adventure begin!

When you heard about the Westbury’s Behind the Scenes package, you booked in a heartbeat. No dilly-dallying here! This trip is designed for solo travellers with a passion for theatre. And tonight’s the night. You’re off to the Abbey Theatre – Ireland’s national theatre – to see the evening show. And that includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour.

Maybe the evening begins with a cocktail at the Westbury’s Sidecar cocktail bar. It’s a glamorous place but you’re dressed for the occasion. The locals are friendly – there’s a group of them at the bar – but this is a moment you want to enjoy alone. You slip into a 1930s style booth to enjoy your hand-mixed martini in peace.

You’re new to solo travel and (full disclosure) you felt a little nervous about the trip. What would you do on your own in Dublin? Then, a few days before your flight, the nice lady from the Westbury’s Guest Experience Team called. She put your mind at rest.

When you told her how much you love the theatre, she suggested the Abbey Walking Tour. It leaves from the hotel tomorrow morning and it’s complementary. You’ll see around the Gaiety Theatre, the theatrical paintings in the National Gallery, and get a selfie at the statue of your hero, Oscar Wilde.

The name reminds you of tomorrow’s dinner reservation at Wilde in the Westbury – a three-course dinner is included in your package. The restaurant is gorgeous (breakfast there was fab) but, as you confessed to the Guest Experience Lady, you’ve never been crazy about dining in a restaurant alone. No problem! A lot of solo travellers feel the same way and there’s a simple solution. Room service! You can order what you want from the menu and they’ll bring it up to you – no extra charge.

With packages like these, it’s no wonder solo travel is trending. It’s restful and exciting at the same time. As you finish your cocktail, you scroll through the Westbury’s guide to Travelling Solo. There’s so much to fit in. Maybe a stroll across St Stephen’s Green, Dublin’s most iconic public park, to the Museum of Literature Ireland. You love the idea of a museum where they encourage you to read a book. But then there’s the Chester Beatty – a secret gem of a museum within the walls of Dublin Castle. How to decide?

Before you set out, you’ll have a chat with one of the concierge team. They’ll help you plan a day that’s tailor-made for you. The Westbury Hotel has the largest Clefs d’Or membership in Ireland (the golden crossed key symbol on their lapel is their badge of office) and those guys have you covered! Can you fit it all in? Well, possibly not…

You’re here for a relaxed visit, not a tourist scramble. The two-night stay is perfect, but there’s so much more to see in Dublin. There’s only one thing for it! You’re coming back next year.
