As with most of Dublin’s townhouse hotels, Browns has perfectly preserved the Georgian setting, while adding modern facilities, including TVs and writing desks. The result is a blend of comfort and convenience.

Every detail here exudes classic style, yet all the en-suite rooms are fully equipped with modern facilities including cable TV. Traditional Irish breakfast.

Each of the 20 rooms here has an individual decor, yet the feel of the place is like a friendly country house, with sofas around the lounge’s fireplace.

A collection of Georgian houses were combined together in 1998 to provide 28 meticulous rooms. The Irish breakfast is an excellent start to a day of sightseeing, and there is a private car park behind the hotel, which is always a bonus in congested Dublin.

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

Just 10 minutes’ from the city centre by car, this early 20th-century house has been adapted into a small hotel with seven rooms. The break-fastis superb.

This impressive 18th-century family mansion is still privately owned, which is apparent in its loving renovation into a plush hotel, combining traditional style with all modern amenities. Golf and horse-riding are available nearby if you’re looking for outdoor activity. The city centre is 15 minutes’ and the airport 10 minutes’ drive away.

A short walk from St Stephen’s Green and the shopping hub of the city on Grafton Street, this converted Georgian townhouse makes an unusual but attractive place to stay, as well as an affordable one. The price includes a full Irish breakfast. Smokers should be aware that the whole establishment is non-smoking.

The period staircase in this converted Georgian house is one of its most striking features, as well as the glistening crystal chandeliers made from Waterford glass (see Waterford Crystal Factory). The hotel is conveniently situated for all the literary sights north of the Liffey such as the Dublin Writers’ Museum, so it is an ideal place for book lovers.
