Match Days

Celebrate match days in Dublin’s closest hotel to the Aviva Stadium

Rugby fans can rest easy at The Sandymount Hotel knowing that complimentary parking*, comfortable accommodation and a buzzing bar for pre-or post-match drinks are all just steps away from the Aviva Stadium.

Our lively Match Day BBQs have become synonymous with game day at the Aviva Stadium as the front of the hotel transforms into a sea of jerseys and fun festivities. Our chefs fire up the grill and prepare the perfect burgers for hotel guests and visitors alike while rugby fans unite to enjoy the selection of outdoor bars and music under the marquee in preparation for the game ahead.

With Lansdowne DART station just a 5-minute walk away and the Aviva Stadium closer again, The Sandymount Hotel is the perfect meeting point for Ireland rugby match-goers to gather for a pint and tasty food pre-match. And with the majority of Leinster’s home games played at the RDS, only a 10-minute stroll from our door, it is the natural home for Leinster fans too. Whoever you are cheering on, come back to the Line Out Bar afterwards to sit, settle in, and swap opinions on how it all played out.

If you’re travelling into town from further afield, save yourself the post-match journey home and book into one of our newly refurbished, comfortable and stylish rooms for a much-needed slumber followed by a hearty breakfast in Whitty’s Restaurant the following morning.  

*Free parking available on a first-come-first-served basis.
