"A Dublin institution, Brooks Hotel is an unassuming bolthole in the heart of the Creative Quarter. Beloved by regulars, Brooks has become something of an institution thanks to its welcoming staff and home-away-from-home atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and cozy with tactile furnishings in a muted palette including fluffy Foxford blankets and toiletries from The White Company. The onsite cinema is magical at Christmas and if you are lucky enough, the concierge Conor will regale you with stories and gossip from his many years at Brooks. The breakfast spread is impressive; Brooks is one of only a few hotels in Dublin that still offers a buffet to graze on before the main event. The Irish porridge with double cream and whiskey is a must." - Nicola Brady
