The Bar/Lounge at Dylan Hotel

"The flashy Dylan Bar, with a double-sided mirrored fireplace and fiber-optic lighting, has created a real buzz among the city's party crowd, as has the Irish cuisine in the elegant all-white Still restaurant"

"The Tavern restaurant continues the lush decor with a lavish 1930s look, and the Dylan Bar is a prime people-watching spot"

"These days the Dylan is just a stylishly elegant hotel, with wonderfully appointed rooms adorned in crisp linen and a buzzy bar where the beautiful people still gather in force"

"Amenities in the hotel include a fitness room, cozy bar, heated outdoor terrace, solid restaurant, and 24-hour room service"

"The sceney first-floor bar is the place to be after dark, especially in summer, when the party spills out onto a spacious terrace"

"The guests who breeze in and out of the swish lobby and stylish cocktail bar (check out the funky zinc counter) are the kind of well-dressed hipsters who seem entirely at home among the sumptuously upholstered furniture, the yards of trendy wallpaper and the minimalism of the bright, white terrace"

"Comprising a pair of contrasting edifices, a conservative gray-stone four-story block joined at the hip to a florid Victorian brick building, the two share a big terrace in front which is one of the pre-eminent alfresco lounge spots in Dublin"

"If you’ve got a fantastic room overlooking a quiet green, and the whole place is suffused with playful, mood-enhancing lighting; and if the iPod is playing soft, sweet music in the background, there’s an ‘adult games’ pack in the minibar, a customised memory-foam bed, and a bottle of Chablis chilling away in an ice bucket – the smart choice is to make the most of things"
