The Old Bank House

Facing the bustling harbour, these two Georgian townhouses have been voted one of the “Top 100 places to stay in Ireland” every year since 1990.
The Park Hotel

This hotel is in a 19th-century limestone building. Enjoy the restaurant’s mix of classic and progressive cooking, while looking out over the 11-acre garden and Kenmare Bay. The hotel has a spa and is adjacent to an 18-hole golf course; salmon fishing and riding are available nearby.
The Schoolhouse

Converted from a 19th-century schoolhouse which saw some action during the Easter Rising, many original features have been retained at this unusual 4-star hotel. Former classrooms have been converted into a restaurant and bar – fortunately the modern Irish food is far better than school dinners!
The Shelbourne

From the moment you enter the wrought-iron canopied entrance to this beautiful hotel, greeted by the liveried doorman, you will be overawed by the grace and charm that have brought loyal customers here since the 19th century. A true Dublin institution.
The Westbury

For 5-star luxury you can’t do better than this Grafton Street hotel – the accommodation of choice for politicians and celebrities. It even has its own shopping mall if you can’t face the crowds outside.
Trinity Capital

This new hotel overlooking the walls of Trinity College has paid attention to every detail, combining Art Deco influences with a modern twist. Most striking are its oversized lilac sofas in the foyer, and wonderful sculptures. Just in case Dublin goes up in flames, avoid lower level rooms – the hotel is located next to a fire station. Excellent Irish breakfast.
Trinity Lodge

The 15 rooms of this Georgian townhouse are all elegantly decorated and fully equipped, while the communal rooms benefit from antique furniture.
Tyrella House

At the foot of the Mourne Mountains, Tyrella hides behind tall beech woods. Horse-riding and fishing can be arranged.
Waterford Castle

One of the unique hotel experiences in the world. The 15th-century castle is set on a 300-acre island overlooking the River Suir. Access is by car ferry only and the hotel offers the very highest standards of comfort, luxuriously furnished with antiques and open fireplaces.
Waterloo House

This 4-star guest-house is family-run and offers 17 fully equipped bedrooms in its three-storey Georgian house. It also benefits from a private car park, which is useful as the city centre is 10 minutes’ drive away.
