Dublin at its most relaxed
The crowds have gone home. The city slows down. And the best of Dublin is yours to enjoy at your own pace.
Autumn is our favourite time of year in Dublin. The summer rush has eased, the light turns golden, and the city settles into something calmer and more characterful. We can’t promise clear skies, but we can promise a memorable autumn escape, whatever the weather, and a warm welcome home at the end of every day.
Cosy Corners
Curl up in one of our cosy lounges with a good book, a delicious cocktail, a light bite—or why not enjoy all three?
Modern Comfort
Our beautifully appointed bedrooms have recently undergone a complete refresh designed to provide the utmost comfort and relaxation.
Mouthwatering Dishes
Enjoy a carefully crafted all-day menu designed to satisfy all tastes and appetites.
On the doorstep
Start with a brisk stroll through Sandymount Village, where a fresh coffee and a seasonal treat from a local café set you up for the day. From there it is a short walk to the windswept beauty of Sandymount Strand, all sea air and the changing colours of the season. Or wander five minutes to the DART and take the scenic coastal line to Howth, Malahide or Clontarf, each one full of character and made for crisp autumn walks and hearty meals by the sea.
The city, two stops away
The DART brings you into the heart of Dublin in minutes. Spend an afternoon on Grafton Street or lose an hour in Brown Thomas and its autumn collections. Catch a world-class performance at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, or settle into a traditional pub for live music, a bowl of Irish stew and a pint by the fire. For rugby fans, November brings the Nations Championship to the Aviva Stadium, just around the corner from the hotel, with Ireland taking on Argentina, Fiji and South Africa across three unmissable weekends.
A warm welcome home
Back in Ballsbridge, ease into the evening with a hot whiskey or a spiced cider at the Line Out Bar. As the evenings draw in, this is the season for cosy corners, good food and the kind of welcome that only a family-run hotel gives. Nothing is ever too much trouble. It is a real Dublin autumn, at its most relaxed, and there is no better place to enjoy it.
