The warm Irish welcome you crossed an ocean for.
Over from the States or Canada for the trip you have been dreaming of for years, tracing your roots, marking a milestone, or seeing Ireland properly at last? The Sandymount Hotel is your home from home in Dublin. Family-run and proudly Irish-owned since 1955, a short walk from the DART, with free on-site parking and a team who greet you like someone they have been expecting all along. A real Dublin hotel, unlike any other.
A welcome, not a check-in.
You flew an ocean to be here, and it shows in how we greet you. The Sandymount has been family-run and Irish-owned since 1955, three generations of the same family, and our guests rate our team among the very best they meet on the whole trip. Arrive tired after an overnight flight and we will make the first hour easy, with a friendly face, somewhere comfortable to settle if your room is not quite ready, and nothing too much trouble. This is the warmth you came for, and it is the thing our American and Canadian guests tell us they remember long after they are home.
Book direct for our best price, with no surprises.
A trip of a lifetime deserves a hotel you can trust on price as well as welcome. Book direct on our own site and you will get our best available rate, with no booking fees and no middleman taking a cut. Fair, transparent pricing, and value that feels worth the journey you made to get here.
Where your Irish story begins
For so many of our guests, Dublin is the start of something personal, the gateway before the drive out to a family county and the names on the old records. We are a calm, welcoming base to begin from, and there is nothing we love more than hearing where you are headed. Ask our team for the real recommendations, the ones you will not find in a guidebook, and you become part of the story rather than a guest passing through. New stories around every corner, and a few of our own waiting for you.
Perfectly placed, by the sea and on the rails.
We are easy to reach from Dublin Airport, so the start and end of a long trip are simple. Hop on the Aircoach, grab a taxi, or pick up a hire car if you are planning to drive on around Ireland, and we have free on-site parking waiting when you arrive. Once you are settled, the DART runs from just up the road, carrying you into the city centre, Trinity, the cathedrals and the buzz of Temple Bar in minutes, then back to a quiet seaside hotel when you have had your fill. It is the easiest way to see Dublin without the worry of city driving or parking.
Step the other way and you are right on Dublin’s Coastal Trail. Stroll the seafront at Sandymount Strand, follow the bay south toward Dun Laoghaire and Dalkey or north to Howth, all along the same DART line. Sea air, big skies and proper coastal walks, with the city only minutes behind you.
