The Sandymount Hotel sits at a perfect crossroads — moments from the wild, fresh air of the Irish Sea, and just two DART stops from the heart of one of Europe’s most vibrant cities. Whatever summer looks like for you, we’re the ideal base for the best of both worlds.
Your Own Slice of the Coast
Stroll from the hotel through charming Sandymount Village, picking up artisan picnic treats from local cafés, before making your way to the famous Sandymount Strand to soak up the sun and fill your lungs with fresh Irish Sea air. Or walk just five minutes to the nearest DART station and take a scenic ride along the stunning coastline to Howth, Malahide, or Clontarf — each one a postcard-perfect seaside escape.
Dublin in All Its Summer Glory
The same DART line drops you into the city centre in just two stops. Join sun-worshippers in St Stephen’s Green, the Iveagh Gardens, or the Phoenix Park, and explore everything Dublin has to offer on foot or by Dublin Bike. If a summer shower rolls in, shelter in style with a browse of Brown Thomas on Grafton Street, an Afternoon Tea at The Shelbourne, or a pint and some trad music in one of the city’s beloved bars. For something more adventurous, cool off aboard a Viking Splash Tour or take a sightseeing cruise on the River Liffey.
