From the moment guests ascend the hotel’s central staircase, they are sure to be charmed. Take The gracious Gallery, a supremely appointed and elegant space with its captivating art collection and legendary afternoon tea; The Sidecar, with its 1930s, Gatsby-esque feel and where white-jacketed bartenders fix martinis at your table;  vibrant all-day eatery Balfe’s which marries the easy elegance of a Parisian bistro with the dynamic energy of a New York brasserie and then, signature restaurant WILDE, which blends 1930s elegance with a botanical aesthetic, its floor-to-ceiling windows and an array of greenery, looking out over the city centre.

Completing the picture are the hotel’s luxurious guest rooms and suites – showcasing the best of Irish design including custom-woven Irish carpets and crisp Lissadell linens.

Yet, it is it the warmth of welcome that is most vivid and a tangible service ethos that sets the seal on this haven of luxury
