We enjoyed a short two-night stay at the Conrad Dublin to start our 5-year anniversary celebratory vacation and loved our brief time there. The Conrad Dublin has just been refurbished, and they did a beautiful job, truly. I loved the blue/green/aqua theme they had running throughout the hotel—so soothing, it reminded me of the Park Hyatt in Tokyo, but warmer.
- 192 rooms and 15 suites, refurbished in 2017 (everything looks brand new).
- 2 hotel restaurants and 1 hotel bar; afternoon tea.
- Hilton HHonors program; Hilton Diamond members get free breakfast in the Coburg restaurant downstairs.
Room Photos: King Premier Room
We booked a King Deluxe room but were happy to be given an upgrade to a larger King Premier room with a view of the National Concert Hall. At 366 square feet, it was big enough that it felt spacious for the three of us. They sent us a lovely bottle of champagne to celebrate our anniversary (yay!), chocolates, and handwritten welcome notes—so nice.
An empty fridge (yay!) and Nespresso machine—my favorite.
Nice-sized bathroom with tub (so much easier for a baby), but no separate water closet.
Jules also loved her little stuffed bear, which is a Conrad theme in hotels around the world (we have one from Hong Kong, too). The Conrad’s luxury sales manager, Esmee van der Voort, also sent Jules a precious little sheep (hand-knit and available in Eirlooms, the gift shop downstairs).
The best surprise for our daughter was finding this hamper of toys next to her crib. The tag outside says, “Dear Junior Guest, we hope you enjoy the use of this activity hamper during your stay!” Such a nice touch for travelers with children!
Jules enjoyed her breakfast of watermelon and yogurt.
Quite happy with my soup and Guinness despite a small cold.
Location of the Conrad Dublin
The Conrad Dublin is located two short blocks from St. Stephen’s Green, the gorgeous park and garden in the heart of Dublin.
On previous trips to Dublin, we’ve stayed nearer to the pubs in the Temple Bar area (once at the Radisson Blu Royal Dublin and another time at the Morrison, a DoubleTree hotel across the River Liffey). The Conrad was a little walk from that touristy but fun area.
Dublin is a super walkable city that feels very safe, even late at night. The walk from the Temple Bar to the Conrad takes about 20 minutes, or a cab can get you to and from the area in 10 minutes.
