Spend three nights in a deluxe king room in the Main House at the Merrion Hotel in Dublin, Ireland. Regarded as one of the finest 5-Star hotels in Ireland, The Merrion is located in the heart of Dublin. The Merrion, occupying a cluster of four stately Georgian houses overlooking formal landscaped gardens and set right across the street from the citys government offices, has been carefully restored to its 18th-century splendor. All the period details have been chosen to reflect historical accuracy; the formal tearoom and the vaulted, subterranean cellar bar whisk you back to the 1700s. The Merrion also has many fabulous modern features such as the colonnaded infinity pool of the luxurious Tethra Spa and the two-Michelin-starred, neo-French cuisine at Patrick Guilbauds on-site restaurant. The hotels common areas contain one of the countrys leading private collections of art, with works by Louis le Brocquy, Mainie Jellett, and Sir John Lavery. Ask for a guided tour of the collection, led by staff from the nearby National Gallery.
