About The Sandymount Hotel

Discover the perfect blend of comfort, elegance and history at Sandymount Hotel, Ireland.

Nestled in the picturesque seaside village of Sandymount, County Dublin, the 4-star award-winning Sandymount Hotel is the hidden gem of Dublin city and is located just steps from the Aviva Stadium. Owned and operated by the Loughran Family since 1955, this 175-bedroom hotel had humble beginnings as a 4-bedroom guesthouse before growing to become Dublin’s largest independent family-run hotel.

Following an €8 million refurbishment project, guests of The Sandymount Hotel can enjoy a varied selection of elegant accommodations, an All-Day Dining Menu at the Line Out Bar, a garden terrace in the hotel’s private gardens and plenty of nooks and crannies to unwind in after a day on your feet.

While there’s plenty to experience nearby, Dublin City Centre is just a short 10-minute train ride away, ensuring guests can enjoy all that Ireland’s capital has to offer. From a visit to Trinity College to see the Books of Kells to discovering what it truly means to be Irish at the EPIC Irish Emigration Museum; there’s so much to be explored.
