The Top 29 Hotels Near Spitalfields
-
A hotel tucked just off Grafton Street, The Westbury sits at the seam of Dublin's shopping and arts quarters, which means you're never far from anything. The lobby floral arrangements come from local suppliers, the martini at The Sidecar is shaken tableside, and afternoon tea in The Gallery tends to riff on whatever Dublin is doing at the moment. It wears the city rather than just existing in it.
-
Four Georgian townhouses, knocked through and turned into a luxury hotel on Merrion Street, which means the rooms feel like rooms rather than hotel rooms. Fresh flowers on the tables, art on every wall, and a fireplace doing actual work. The Forbes Four Star rating sits quietly on the shelf. The Irish government buildings are next door, so the neighborhood has a certain gravity to it, and the hotel leans into that without getting stiff about it.
-
One of the original copies of the Irish Constitution lives in a suite here, which tells you most of what you need to know about The Shelbourne's place in Dublin life. This grande dame hotel on St Stephen's Green has been around forever, all marble floors, chandelier light, and rooms overlooking the park. The Horseshoe Bar, a 1957 Sam Stephenson design of brass and low ceilings, is worth the visit on its own.
-
Across from the National Concert Hall and a short walk from St. Stephen's Green, this Forbes Four Star hotel trades on calm in a city that isn't always known for it. Mossy greens and branch-shaped fittings nod to the nearby Iveagh Gardens, while 192 rooms come with herringbone blankets and bedding soft enough to make checkout feel unreasonable. Lemuel's handles cocktails downstairs; the courtyard garden handles everything else.
-
A rock garden runs the full length of the ground-floor windows, with Dublin Castle's old brick wall just beyond, which sets the tone for this calm, design-conscious hotel off Aungier Street. Connemara marble and brushed gold carry through the common areas, each floor has a commissioned artwork, and rooms come with herringbone floors and automated curtains. The basement sauna, steam room, and whirlpool are complimentary, which at city-center prices is a genuine differentiator.
-
A Victorian terrace alongside the Grand Canal, close enough to St. Stephen's Green to walk into the city but quiet enough to forget you're in one. The Wilder Townhouse is a boutique hotel that leans into its bones, keeping the original architectural details while letting the decor go somewhere more playful. There's a Gin and Tea Rooms bar for winding down without going far. It holds a Michelin Key.
-
The art deco detailing inside this 128-room hotel on Stephen's Street Lower nods to 1920s Dublin without becoming a costume. Warm lighting, geometric accents, and genuine old-city bones put it a short walk from Trinity and St Stephen's Green. The ground-floor bar, Bartley's, draws enough locals off the street to suggest the hotel isn't leaning on captive guests to keep the lights on, always a reassuring sign.
-
Archaeologists pulled Viking feast pits and medieval coins from this site before the Hoxton could break ground, which sets a certain tone. It's a design hotel on Exchequer Street, close enough to Dublin's nightlife that the front door functions as a starting gun. Rooms run rust and moss green on navy, graded from snug upward. The first-floor Library Bar, back after years away, does oysters and martinis under restored plasterwork.
-
A hotel on the corner of St Stephen's Green, with Grafton Street a five-minute walk and the Iveagh Gardens practically outside the door. A recent refurbishment brought sage tones, blush pink walls, and terrazzo bathrooms into the mix. The atrium between the old townhouse and the modern extension is worth an hour of anyone's afternoon, and the cocktail bar, Pen and Player, runs a drinks program that holds its own against the city's independent bars, which for a hotel is saying something.
-
Floor-to-ceiling color greets you at this contemporary hotel on St. Stephen's Green, designed in collaboration with Conran and Partners and since refreshed without retreating to the safe beige most luxury properties favor. Rooms run generous, and the all-day lounge holds its own against the fine-dining room downstairs. The Green itself is a short walk to everywhere Dublin considers central, which is a harder thing to find than it sounds.
-
A boutique hotel in a Georgian terrace that hands you earplugs at check-in, which tells you most of what you need to know. Rooms run from minimal pods and bunk-style options up to proper suites, all equipped with turntables and vinyl. The rooftop bar has city views and a social life to match. Live bands and DJs are a regular feature, so light sleepers should look elsewhere, but everyone else will find it a decent encapsulation of what central Dublin is for.
-
A nine-room hotel inside one of the Georgian townhouses that line the northern edge of St Stephen's Green, where the cast iron staircase and deep cornicing have been left alone and bold floral wallpaper fills the gaps. The Michelin Guide has it in their selected hotels. Downstairs there's a Japanese restaurant and a basement wine bar, but the room to book is the suite with the marble bath and fireplace looking straight onto the Green.
-
The lobby here was a bank vault once, and the columns and vaulted cellar bar make sure you don't forget it. Three joined 19th-century buildings opposite Trinity College now form a sleek modern hotel, with rooms that keep the compact footprint of the original architecture but hide all the expected comforts underneath. Rooms facing the college have the better view, and Temple Bar is close enough to visit but far enough to sleep through.
-
A secret garden links two very different buildings at this boutique guesthouse just off St. Stephen's Green: a Georgian townhouse and a sleek modernist mews designed by architect Sam Stephenson. Rooms follow whichever house they're in, either ornate cornicing or clean lines. No bar or restaurant keeps things quiet, though breakfast is a serious production. Central Dublin is a short walk in any direction.
-
-
The neoclassical facade on Merrion Square stops people mid-stride: columns, carved stonework, a grand dome, all of it Georgian and unapologetic. Inside this city hotel, a Swarovski chandelier fills the atrium and upper rooms look out over rooftops. The National Gallery is three minutes away, and Sweny's Pharmacy from Ulysses is directly across the road, which is either a perk or a trivia trap depending on your company.
-
A hotel on Fenian Street that splits the difference between Georgian grandeur and design-forward cool, with contemporary Irish art on the walls and rooms that lean boutique without pretending to be a hostel. It sits in that quiet pocket between Merrion Square and Trinity College, close to everything without feeling like it. The Carriage restaurant, the Secret Garden terrace bar, and the Steam Café have all built their own local followings.
-
A Damien Hirst hanging by reception sets the tone at this 55-room Ballsbridge boutique, where the design runs to Dalmatian-spotted carpets and mid-century shapes offset by work from over eighty Irish artists. Jean-Georges Vongerichten runs a rooftop restaurant upstairs, and The Collins Club handles cocktails below. Service is informal but attentive, and the Rico Suite is essentially a private apartment with Merrion Square at the end of the street.
-
A Victorian nurses' boardinghouse turned luxury boutique hotel, the Dylan earned its Michelin Key, and a recent redesign by Grainne Weber Architects kept it sharp rather than nostalgic. Italian marble and parquet fill the lobby, rooms are individually furnished with Irish artwork, and the Nurserie terrace, thick with tree ferns, makes the city center feel implausibly far away. The Ruby Room handles cocktails with appropriate decadence.
-
Tucked into Dublin 4 among embassies and Georgian townhouses, this hotel trades central buzz for genuine quiet, which is exactly the point. Rooms are unfussy and generously sized, and the private car park alone makes it feel more like a serviced apartment than a hotel stay. The Whiskey Bar stocks over a hundred Irish and international blends in a room of leather and oak, while the Reading Room does afternoon tea overlooking the garden.
-
The building itself stops you: a geometric mass designed by Portuguese architect Aires Mateus to echo coastal rock formations eroding over time, which means the lobby, Dublin's largest, feels more cave than corridor. This luxury hotel in the Docklands has sleek rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and marble soaking tubs, an enclosed rooftop bar with Irish Sea views that works year-round, and a spa with an infinity pool sensibly sheltered from the Dublin sky.
-
Exposed brick and original period features run through this Docklands hotel, so the building has something to say before you even check in. Rooms pair heritage details with modern comforts, and Lotti's handles Irish food and cocktails on the ground floor. The bigger draw is the postcode: you're on the Northside, close to Capel Street's independent shops and galleries, in the part of Dublin that doesn't feel like it's performing for tourists.
-
A stream runs right through the grounds, past a lily pond and wisteria-draped mill buildings that now hold the bar, restaurant, and boutique. This County Kildare hotel spreads across manor houses and stone cottages, so rooms range from parquet-floored elegance with rainfall showers to rustic-chic cottages with four-poster beds, hidden staircases, and fireplaces. The spa sits in a rose-covered stone building with a fireplace in the relaxation room, which sets the tone for the whole place.
-
A grand resort on the Powerscourt Estate in County Wicklow, about half an hour south of Dublin, with the chandelier-and-broad-staircase formality you'd expect from something this size. What softens it is a hotel-wide hot-air balloon motif left over from a film shoot on the grounds, which keeps the whole thing from taking itself too seriously. The ESPA spa is a draw, Sika restaurant leans into local Wicklow produce, and upper rooms face Sugar Loaf mountain.
-
A Palladian mansion set on 1,100 acres of Kildare parkland, Carton House is a Fairmont-managed country house hotel where the original library has been converted entirely into a whiskey room, which tells you something about the priorities here. Staterooms come with William Morris-style wallpapers and gold-upholstered beds; the newer wing runs more contemporary. A Michelin-starred restaurant, a gastropub, and a wine room round out the estate.
-
A Georgian mansion on seven hundred acres along the River Liffey, The K Club is a country house hotel that has quietly dropped the stuffiness without losing the grandeur. Rooms mix antique furnishings with real comfort, the views are unmistakably Irish, and thirty-six Arnold Palmer-designed holes make it a serious golf destination. Those with no interest in golf will find the spa a convincing alternative argument.
-
The old locomotive workshop is now a carriage house of guest rooms, which tells you everything about how this family-owned boutique hotel came to be. Set in the Boyne Valley village of Kilmessan, it's under an hour from Dublin and works equally well for a city escape or a longer stay. The main house keeps its period bones while the interiors lean into contemporary country-house comfort, and the Signal Restaurant pulls ingredients from the valley on most nights.
-
Nine miles of white sand and exactly one hotel to share it with. This Forbes Four Star resort on a 933-acre private island in the Indian Ocean keeps things deliberately unhurried, with beach bungalows, sprawling villas, and a private plunge pool in every room. Kayaking, snorkeling, and a tortoise conservatory fill the days for anyone restless enough to leave theirs.
-
A Regency-style country house hotel on a wooded estate in County Wexford, with an ornamental lake that makes the grounds feel slightly too cinematic to be real. The 18 antique-furnished rooms in the main house give way to the Lodge cottage and the Pond Suites, modern sustainable villas where the forest comes right to the door. Two restaurants run the full range from formal conservatory dining to casual terrace plates.
