How My Family Fell in Love With Ireland’s Grand Hotels, Falconry, and the World’s Best Bread and Butter
"Housed in four 18th-century townhouses in central Dublin, this elegant hotel pairs Georgian coziness with bright, springlike interiors and a garden courtyard that fills rooms with light. It features a near-comprehensive collection of Irish art (highlights include works by Jack B. Yeats and William Scott) and even offers afternoon tea with pastries inspired by the artworks; service is warm and personal, exemplified by a guest-relations executive who befriended the family. Public spaces such as the intimate Garden Room overlook the courtyard and a James Joyce statue, with low ceilings and deep banquettes that make conversation easy for guests with hearing difficulties." - Peter Terzian Peter Terzian Peter Terzian is the features editor of Travel + Leisure, where he has been on staff since 2017.
