Michelin Guide "Elegant hotel... spacious bedrooms."
Frommer's "Housed in four restored Georgian houses, the Merrion is a deeply feminine, traditionally elegant hotel." Full review
Concierge "In a city of spotty service, the staff here does a good impression of having had decades of practice, and the look of the place is weathering beautifully."
Fodor's "Stately and spiffy, and splendidly situated... this luxurious hotel actually comprises four exactingly restored Georgian town houses." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"This resplendent five-star hotel, in a terrace of beautifully restored Georgian townhouses, opened in 1988 but looks like it's been around a lot longer." Full review

"The Merrion is Dublin's most exclusive luxury hotel, and has a convenient location across from the Government buildings in four 18th-century townhouses." Full review

"The Merrion is consciously designed as an homage to the 18th century. This old-fashioned elegance exists side-by-side with all the luxuries of a modern hotel." Full review
Time Out "Housed inside four restored, listed Georgian houses, the Merrion doesn't shy away from a little frill here, a delicate striped couch there." Full review
Star Service "Thanks to management's adept style and the meticulous staff, this hotel comes off as a cozier version of the Four Seasons." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"The Merrion Hotel opens into a series of period drawing rooms fragranced by turf fires and adorned with Ireland's largest collection of private art." Full review

DK Eyewitness "The Neo-Classical facade dates from 1863. Mahogany, brass and marble furnishings give it the feel of a gentleman’s club."
Time Out "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
Star Service "The Davenport competes well, however, and has earned its fair share of loyal repeaters over two decades of refined service. " Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"The four-star Davenport is in an excellent and beautiful location conveniently set within a minute’s walk from the best of Georgian Dublin." Full review
Lonely Planet "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
