What you're near — and what you're not
- Grafton Street (immediately off it)
- St Stephen's Green and Trinity (short walk)
- The Gaiety Theatre and city-centre dining
- A true quiet retreat — the location is squarely in the busy core
- Some distance from the docklands business district
What you're paying for
A range from well-appointed rooms to suites; given the central setting, higher floors and the quieter aspects are worth requesting to escape street noise.
