The Merrion Hotel located in the heart of Georgian Dublin, opposite Government Buildings, is the capital’s most luxurious five star hotel, and a proud member of The Leading Hotels of the World. Created from an impeccable restoration of four Georgian Townhouses, the 142-bedroom and suite hotel is arranged around two 18th Century style gardens. The Merrion is home to Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud, a Two Star Michelin Restaurant, The Cellar Bar, The Garden Room, and the intimate No. 23 Cocktail Bar. Another key feature of The Merrion Hotel is its stunning art collection - the largest private collection of 19th and 20th century art in Ireland. This art collection provides the inspiration for The Merrion’s Art Tea. The Merrion Hotel has partnered with Flow Hospitality Training to provide a bespoke learning management system for all of our team members.
