The Dean Dublin
A boutique, music-and-design-led hotel on Harcourt Street with the buzzy Sophie's rooftop restaurant and bar.
The call
Worth it if you only have one day and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
Young, playful and scene-y, with record players in some rooms and a glass-walled rooftop that's a night out in itself.
Our read - 02
Fun rather than formal — and lively into the night.

What you're near — and what you're not
- St Stephen's Green (short walk)
- Harcourt Street and the Camden Street bar strip
- Luas Green Line stop nearby
- A peaceful retreat — the rooftop and area are busy at night
- The docklands business district
What you're paying for
Tiers from compact 'Mod Pod' rooms up to larger suites; some rooms feature record players. Size up from the smallest category if you want space, and ask away from the rooftop for quiet.
