Conrad Dublin
As one would expect of any great European capital, the city of Dublin is home to a variety of exceptional hotels. Travelers in search of the famous Irish hospitality have no shortage of options, but one of the best among them is a name that’s decidedly American: the Conrad Dublin.
Named after the patriarch of the Hilton family of hotels, the Conrad brand is a symbol of excellence in hospitality across the globe. The properties within its portfolio have won too many accolades to count and are mainstays on just about every “world’s best” list. The Dublin outpost is no exception. In addition to being named Ireland’s Leading Luxury Hotel at the World Travel Awards for five years running, the Conrad Dublin is listed among the best hotels in the city by Conde Nast.
The hotel is located in the heart of the city centre, yet it’s a bit removed from the hustle and bustle of the Temple Bar and other tourist thoroughfares. This provides a comfortable, but convenient, oasis just a few steps from St. Stephen’s Green. Dublin is an incredibly walkable city, and many of its most famous sites, as well as some of its best pubs, are found within a comfortable stroll of the hotel.
For the golf traveler, Conrad Dublin offers an equally convenient location. No less than six great links golf courses are found within a half-hour drive of the hotel, plus a parkland layout which happens to be a former Ryder Cup venue. All totaled, the golfer could spend a week in Dublin, play a different world-class course every day, and never have to check-out of the Conrad.
Of course, the Conrad Dublin hasn’t earned its acclaim based on location alone. Inside, the service and amenities are second to none. The sleek and expansive lobby is appointed with a variety of comfortable sitting areas, inviting the weary traveler to kick back from the moment they arrive. Upstairs the stylishly appointed guest rooms are spacious by European city standards and offer all of the modern amenities required by today’s traveler. The Nespresso machine, in particular, is a small touch which has found favor with the H&B team.
In addition to the outstanding location, service, and amenities, Conrad Dublin also offers a variety of award-winning food and beverage options. The Coburg Brasserie serves a locally inspired menu in an upscale setting, while Alfie Byrne’s offers over 30 craft brews in a traditional Irish pub atmosphere. Finally, no visit to the Conrad is complete without a stop at Lemuel’s, where hand-crafted cocktails are served in a space themed to the Irish classic Gulliver’s Travels. As noted in Cocktails from Across the Pond, the H&B Concierge suggests ordering The Rising Sun.
When it comes to exceptional accommodations for a golf trip to Ireland, the Conrad Dublin checks all of the boxes. From an unmatched location to outstanding service, amenities, and food and beverage, the Conrad delivers nothing short of the Good Life at its Finest in Dublin.
