 "Elegant guest areas... Spacious bedrooms; plenty of extras." 
 "Sure, the odd clue that you're in Ireland is discernible—the Celtic seaweed treatments in the excellent spa, for instance—but really, this could be anywhere. If that bothers you, stay away." 
 "An upscale city bolthole with impeccable service and a hefty dose of Irish charm." Full review
 "It may be something of an eyesore from the outside... but the characteristically luxurious Four Seasons property has some of the largest and best-appointed guest rooms in town." Full review

 "A handsome, friendly spot: come here for luxury, style and impeccable service in spacious surroundings a 10-minute taxi ride from the city centre." Full review

 "Old World flair on two landscaped acres provides an unparalleled urban retreat."

 "This is Dublin's go-to hotel for old-fashioned luxury that doesn’t feel stuffy. It’s also perfect if you want to stay close to the city center but not in the middle of the hustle and bustle." Full review

 "The Neo-Classical facade dates from 1863. Mahogany, brass and marble furnishings give it the feel of a gentleman’s club." 
 "The lobby is nice enough, as are the guest rooms (even if they won't conform to everyone's idea of chic interior design), and the location is suitably swanky." Full review
 "The Davenport competes well, however, and has earned its fair share of loyal repeaters over two decades of refined service. " Full review

 "Housed within the old Merrion Hall, which was built in 1863 for the Plymouth Brethren, this is a solid business hotel with large rooms equipped with orthopaedic beds and big bathrooms." Full review
