"The Shelbourne is more than just a hotel. It holds a place in the heart of many Dubliners and is essential to the fabric of the city. One of the oldest hotels in the city, it has welcomed dignitaries from all over the world since opening in 1824—the Irish Constitution was even drafted in one of the upstairs rooms. Its history is inescapable. Pay a visit to the tiny Shelbourne Museum in the reception area to see hefty guest books from throughout the ages, menus from the early 20th century, and letters from former guests. The famed bar, No. 27, is oft referred to as Dublin's living room. To stay at The Shelbourne is to step back in time and live out your Georgian fantasies. It’s luxurious, it’s distinguished, and it’s always worth a visit." - Nicola Brady
