"Rising as a sleek geometric landmark in Grand Canal Square amid Dublin’s “Silicon Docks,” this hotel mirrors the energy of the tech-driven Docklands around it. There’s a hip, contemporary feel throughout, from the light-filled lobby to the bedrooms accented with bold pops of color. Downstairs, a moodily lit infinity pool—the best in the city—pairs with a eucalyptus-scented steam room to create a cocooning spa atmosphere. Up top, the seasonal rooftop bar offers killer views across the city and out to the Dublin Mountains, with guaranteed access for guests and bartenders who are almost certain to become fast friends over a drink." - Ciara McQuillan, Matt Charlton


"Sleek and contemporary in the revived Docklands, this 187‑key landmark overlooks Grand Canal Square and puts the National Museum, the 3Arena, and an array of emerging restaurants within easy reach. Rooms are modern and calming, furnished by Irish designers, and corner suites frame some of the city’s best views across the canal to the Dublin mountains. Executive Chef Gareth Mullins leads Forbes Street, while a rooftop bar pours drinks with sweeping vistas. The spa is a showstopper—think a 23‑meter infinity pool, sauna, and eucalyptus steam room—and the concierge can arrange experiential outings from coastal freshwater plunges to a guided tour of Kildangan Stud." - Liam Hess, Nicole Kliest
