Floritz brings Asian and Japanese flavours to The Fitzwilliam's St Stephen's Green address. Selected Deluxe Premium rooms open onto private terraces overlooking the park, offering a particularly memorable Dublin outlook.

Jean-Georges' rooftop restaurant is The Leinster's culinary centrepiece, pairing Irish produce with French technique and Southeast Asian flavours. The terrace looks over Georgian Dublin towards the distant mountains.

The Westbury offers several distinct places to spend an evening, from WILDE to cocktails at The Sidecar. Afternoon tea in The Gallery adds a more leisurely ritual, while Terrace Suites have their own outdoor space.

Paul Slater's murals fill The Shelbourne's wood-panelled 1824 Bar with characters from Irish culture and the hotel's past. Reserved for resident guests, it makes a distinctive setting for a pre-dinner drink or theatre nightcap.
