What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The building keeps its original character: exposed brick and period features throughout.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open onto North Wall Quay along the River Liffey, just steps from the 3Arena and Point Square.
The rooms
Rooms keep their original exposed brick and period details, and some look out over the River Liffey.
The hydrotherapy pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated hydrotherapy pool churns with massage jets beneath a tiled palm mural in the courtyard.
Gym and steam room
The basement gym holds custom workout studios and cable rigs on dark parquet floors, beside an eucalyptus steam room.
Ryleigh's Rooftop Restaurant & Terrace
Curved leather banquettes fill the rooftop steakhouse, where floor-to-ceiling glass looks out toward Dublin Bay and the mountains.
Bar
The Bottle Boy & Courtyard
Dark wood paneling lines the traditional pub, where cosy leather snugs and draft pints spill into a heated courtyard.
At the table
Red leather booths surround an illuminated counter on the ground floor, serving casual comfort classics and cocktails.
How it began
An 1860s spirit grocer and an 1870 warehouse sat derelict for two decades before ODOS Architects joined them with corten steel.
