Located right on Parnell Square, the Hotel St. George was converted into a hotel in 1907. This Georgian mansion is close enough to the city center without costing guests a pot of gold. The Spire of Dublin, the Dublin Writer's Museum, O'Connell Bridge, and Trinity College are all within a 15-minute walk.
The St. George looks better much in person than it does in the washed-out brochure pictures. The lounge, which draws inspiration from the 18th century, is stunning, with its velvet couches, silk drapes, and dark wood furniture.
Although the hotel has wireless Internet access, to be honest, the fantastic oak bar in the next room is too much of a distraction for anyone to seriously cyber surf. The tranquil, dimly lit bar will help even the most tired tourist chill out and tap into his or her inner Ulysses.
The furnishings in the 54 high-ceilinged rooms aren't quite as grand as those in the common areas, but the amenities inside are more than satisfactory, with art deco style nightstands and beds, thick drapes, and royal blue bedding. Perhaps the only drawback to the St. George's elegant rooms is that the walls are a bit thin.
All rooms have private bathrooms, and some even have bathtubs.
