New hotels to lay your head in Dublin’s fair city

Famed for its cobbled streets, culture, historical landmarks, picturesque architecture, coastal beauty and lively nightlife, Dublin is well worth the visit. The perfect combination of a big city and friendly community, Dublin is a collection of villages that over time have come together to create something special.

The secret to planning a successful trip to the Fair City is picking a great place to lay your head, and with a host of newly opened hotels available, and more to come on stream in 2022, the choice is wide and deep.

A perfect base to discover Dublin, the new Arthaus Hotel exhibits a rich tapestry of art and design woven throughout by a series of artists, craftsmen and skilled workers. Honouring the spirit of the world famous Bauhaus school of art and design which aimed at uniting art and people, this unique boutique hotel is located in the city centre near St Stephen’s Green.

The city’s main attractions are all within easy walking distance. Stroll back to the comfortable Arthaus after shopping on Grafton Street, sampling the cuisine and entertainment in Temple Bar or exploring the Guinness Storehouse.

Also designed for creative minds and social spirits, the Dublin One Hotel offers unique and stimulating stays for guests. Situated on the corner of Dorset Street and North Circular Road, there are cosy rooms, great coffee, and a courtyard to soak up some culture in the heart of one of Dublin’s most creative neighbourhoods.

Celebrating the life and work of Irish Nobel Laureate Samuel Beckett, The Samuel is a bold new addition to Dublin’s hotel accommodation. With its modern, best-in-class architecture and central location in the city’s rejuvenated and dynamic docklands, it’s the perfect base for a Dublin break.

This four-star property is located in Spencer Place, overlooking the River Liffey, and offers modern, comfortable accommodation in either deluxe and executive rooms, and there is an on-site restaurant, bar and a coffee shop.

Another exciting addition to Dublin’s hotel scene, StayCity is a new aparthotel opened in January 2022. Located in the historic Liberties area, fast becoming Dublin’s hippest neighbourhood, this brand new property offers a total of 246 studio and one-bedroom apartments that come with a fully equipped kitchenette. The aparthotel is surrounded by a medley of antique shops, vintage boutiques, art galleries, bars and cafés. This is where old Dublin meets new.

Look out also for the new Hampton by Hilton Dublin City Centre hotel, currently due to open at the beginning of July. This three-star hotel offers a good location just across the street from the historic Four Courts complex, and just a quick walk to Dublin Castle and Christ Church Cathedral.

The iconic Temple Bar, Henry Street shopping and O'Connell Street are all a mere 500m walk from the front door, and other city attractions such as the Jameson Distillery, Trinity College and the Phoenix Park are all easily accessible.
