Why we chose Dylan Dublin
Tucked on a leafy, red-brick street in Dublin 4, Dylan is a five-star, design-forward boutique hotel that feels like a private city retreat—close to the action, but blissfully quiet when you want it. The property’s vibe is intimate and polished, with original Irish art, layered textures, and a warm, service-first team that matches the aesthetic with substance.
Dylan occupies an architectural gem whose foundation stone was laid in 1900 by Princess Helena (Queen Victoria’s daughter). It originally housed trainee nurses from the nearby Baggot Street hospital—hence nods to “nursery/nurserie” throughout the hotel today. It’s a storied address in Dublin’s most exclusive postcode, now revived as a modern sanctuary.
Set just off Baggot Street, you’re a pleasant stroll from St. Stephen’s Green, Trinity College, and Grafton Street shopping. Aviva Stadium and the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre are also nearby—great for match days or a culture-packed weekend.

Eat & Drink
- The Eddison serves contemporary Irish cuisine—seasonal, elegant, and open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
- Dylan Bar is an intimate, design-led space for cocktails and an all-day menu. It’s as cozy for a rainy afternoon as it is lively before a night out.
- The Nurserie Terrace (the hotel’s partially covered, heated courtyard) is our favorite place for a late-day glass of Champagne. In summer, it often transforms into a Pommery Champagne terrace—perfect for oysters and caviar.
- Afternoon Tea includes finger sandwiches, scones and delicate pastries served alongside delicious seasonal desserts. Created daily by the Dylan’s pastry chefs.
- The Ruby Room offers the unique opportunity to savor over thirty of the most prestigious and sought-after tequilas.
