There are many, many cliches about the Republic of Ireland’s capital, and, okay, they’re mainly true. But if you don’t have the time to fully embed yourself in the culture, a stay at one of the best hotels in Dublin is the best way to soak it all up. Whether you’re in a lavish five-star property or a funky boutique hostel, you can expect to be met with warmth, friendly chatter, and a lot of opinions about where you should get your first pint. When it comes to hotels, Dublin plays to its strengths—expect plenty of classic Georgian architecture mixed with cool design and functionality, and no matter where it falls on that spectrum, you’ll find charm in spades. This is a modern, thriving metropolis with modern gastronomy, artisanal cafés, independent traders, brilliant shopping, stunning surrounding countryside, and a fantastic culture and nightlife. But with a city with everything—from graveyard tours to the Book of Kells experience at Trinity College—you’re going to need somewhere to rest your stout-soaked head. Here are our picks for the best hotels in Dublin, with a range of picks to suit your needs.
