"Client care is the headline here, with staff reaching out before you arrive to ask how they can help you make the most of your stay, whether your focus is shopping on nearby Grafton Street, hitting museums and galleries, or exploring the city’s bars and restaurants. Personalization is the watchword, though you’re encouraged not to overlook the in-house offerings, especially Glover’s Alley by Chef Andy MacFadden, a Michelin Guide–listed restaurant overlooking St. Stephen’s Green. Practical perks include an underground car park for excursions to County Wicklow and a location directly opposite a Luas tram stop. Rooms are sophisticated and warm, with pops of color, marble-patterned bathrooms, and high-end toiletries, while higher floors look out over the park and some add balconies equipped with heaters for year-round alfresco drinks. For those chasing maximum glamour, the Project Orange–designed penthouse is pitched as a masterclass in tasteful excess." - Ciara McQuillan, Matt Charlton
