Stairs in the entry.
Statue of James Joyce on the grounds.
A Hotel Life everywhere you look!
The stunning entry.
The courtyard is gorge. You can sit on the patio if it’s warm enough.
My room overlooking government buildings. On a sunny day, Dublin is beautiful.
The paper liner in the bin thrilled my OCD soul.
My room was one of the guest rooms in the original Georgian houses.
The mini bar had some delish local Irish snacks.
The egg warmers were pretty cute.
Beautiful original Georgian architectural details.
Highs & Lows
-
The slippers were super plush and bouncy. Like mattresses for the feet!
-
The Asprey London bath amenities smell amazing and are totally stealable.
-
There was a paper liner at the bottom of the bathroom trashcan, which gave my OCD a massive thrill.
-
The in-room tea is from local Dublin heritage brand Bewley’s. Love that.
-
To be blunt, the Merrion is the best hotel in Dublin. You just won’t find better than this. It’s an absolute pleasure to be here.
-
The Irish breakfast didn’t blow my mind. Although, I did enjoy the little egg warmers.

-
Minibar
Artisinal chocolate and Irish potato chips, you won’t find Pringles here. The homemade cookies are outstanding. We also got a welcome pastry in the room that blew our mind.

Children
It’s definitely family friendly, but not full of kids running around the place.
