Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: The spacious street-level lobby sets the tone with a modern, pale yellow and deep red colour scheme, used throughout most public areas and guestrooms. Granite floors are brightened with potted palms; a carpeted lounge area has leather sofas, colourful art prints, and a flat-screen TV. The hotel is largely frequented by business travellers during the week and tourists at weekends.
Amenity highlights: Diners and art-lovers can head to the Epic restaurant, which serves bistro-style à la carte dinners in informal surroundings, with a constantly changing display of contemporary works for sale, painted by local artists. The Gasworks Contemporary Irish Bar gives guests a modern setting to enjoy a hearty meal, a speciality coffee, a cool beverage, a glass of wine or something special from the cocktail menu.
Insider tip: Celebrated Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh lived in the area and used to stroll along the canals by the hotel, drawing inspiration from the peaceful scenery. The spot where he composed ‘Lines written on a Seat on the Grand Canal, Dublin’ is within 400 metres of the hotel, and is marked with a lifelike seated statue.
