What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
it’s in the shared spaces that the hotel sings. In the town of Joyce, Stoker, and Wilde, there is a literature and poetry theme running throughout the hotel
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Ormond Quay sits right outside, and the pedestrian Millennium Bridge crosses the Liffey directly into Temple Bar.
The rooms
Irish song lyrics and soundwave motifs accent the bedrooms, which were updated with fresh panelling and modern lighting.
Bar
Quay 14
Mirrored wall panels reflect chevron parquet floors, and the back-lit counter pours local craft beers into the evening.
At the table
Curved sage banquettes look out toward the river, and the kitchen sears Irish steaks over a Josper charcoal grill.
How it began
Publican Hugh O'Regan opened the hotel in 1999, linking a former print works with a restored 1770 Georgian townhouse.
