This 49 room hotel is built on a historic 1852 regency style landmark and faces the River Liffy. The location is very close to the Temple Bar district but in a separate pocket which ensures privacy and peace and quiet. In the rooms you have a choice of choosing the ones with the city views on ones that directly face the river. Each room is very handsomely furnished with leather club chairs, Shaker-style white oak paneling and crisp sheets. They use lush fabrics and neutral tones of chocolate and oatmeal. The Regency-style building has been artfully renovated to keep the antique touch and adding contemporary elegance; you can see the antique charm in the large comfortable yet firm king-sized oak beds.
They add a business touch by providing large windows that let in good natural light and large desks for you to work on and interactive TV, DVD and broadband internet systems. The complete feel is of a preppy Irish school house fused with glam-rock lifestyle. Ever since Bono and the Edge bought this hotel back in 1992 it is still one of the most famous hotels in Dublin. Even though initially some people considered this as a turning off point but they soon realized that the hotel management keep everything very sophisticated and the celebrity pedigree discreet and rather low-key. The staff is cheery and very helpful and has long been taught to remember each and every one of their guests.
