When in Dublin consider the Merrion Hotel for the most elegant of accommodations. At the Merrion Hotel, which is where President Obama stayed during his recent visit, they strive to create an at-home ambiance. The hotel was originally four 18th century homes that have been blended into an elegant accommodation. In keeping with the concept that homes are “living” things the owners have decorated with a mix of furnishings and paintings. Centrally located, the 5-star hotel has several unique features including two landscaped period gardens and an eclectic collection of paintings by 40 Irish artists belonging to the owners of the Merrion Hotel. Theyare the focus of the hotel’s unique Art Tea, which is good enough to eat! Pastry Chef Paul Kelly has designed his selection of pastries to compliment some of the artwork on display.
Since its opening, The Merrion Hotel in central Dublin has established itself as the epitome of relaxed grandeur, welcoming Dubliners and visitors to the city with stunningly appointed rooms, crackling turf fires and a host of facilities. For more information check www.merrionhotel.com.
