23 Best Hotels in Dublin, Ireland | Condé Nast Traveler

"Being almost on top of the River Liffey, with Temple Bar just over the Millennium Bridge, puts you in a prime spot for exploring both the north and south sides of Dublin. As part of Hilton’s Curio Collection, the property combines the reliable service you’d expect from the parent brand with a strong local flavor and a quirkier design sensibility. While the rooms can feel a touch corporate, they remain well-appointed and welcoming, and the shared spaces are where the personality really comes through, with a literature and poetry theme evident in a feature wall of framed poems, a modernist mural incorporating lines by local poet Stephen James Smith, and even elevator interiors printed with lyrics from Dublin bands. The Morrison Grill is a standout in-house dining option and home to one of Ireland’s first Josper Grills, a charcoal grill–oven hybrid that reaches 932°F, while a serviceable gym and the lack of a spa subtly nudge you to get out and enjoy the city rather than linger over wellness frills." - Ciara McQuillan, Matt Charlton
