Although St. Stephen's Green is definitely less noisy than Temple Bar, you may want to ask for a room on one of the upper floors.
Concierge "As chic as it is elite... the Fitzwilliam's bedrooms have been refurbished but remain the epitome of good taste."

DK Eyewitness "It has a central location beside government buildings... requented by political figures."
Time Out "The rooms are distributed across three Georgian buildings and exude charm, from their hefty Georgian windows to the views of the broad streets below." Full review

Frommer's "This traditional hotel has a wonderful sense of class that saves it from feeling stuffy." Full review
