IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COLLEGE GREEN HOTEL DUBLIN
Afternoon tea, heritage and five-star luxury …
Dublin has no shortage of storied addresses, but few carry quite the same presence as The College Green Hotel Dublin. Rising gracefully at the heart of the capital, just steps from Trinity College and Grafton Street, the hotel is an elegant refuge where history, heritage and five-star comfort converge. Whether it’s a weekend staycation, a celebratory afternoon, or a glamorous occasion, stepping inside feels like a reminder of how restorative true indulgence can be.
An Oasis in the City
While Dublin’s energy hums just beyond the door, the interiors invite calm. Guest rooms and suites are designed with a palette of soft creams and warm textures that nod to the building’s heritage while embracing modern luxury. It is the kind of space you want to sink into after a day spent browsing the boutiques of Grafton Street, exploring the galleries of the National Museum, or strolling through St Stephen’s Green. There is an ease about it – a mix of heritage and contemporary style that ensures you feel both cocooned and connected to the city beyond.
Afternoon Tea Reimagined
No visit to The College Green Hotel would be complete without Afternoon Tea in the Atrium Lounge. Beneath its soaring five-storey glass canopy, natural light floods the room and transforms the ritual into something quietly spectacular. Tiered trays arrive bearing delicate sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream, and jewel-like patisserie creations. Fine teas are poured into gleaming china cups; a glass of champagne adds the perfect finishing note. Afternoon Tea here is more than a tradition – it is an occasion, reimagined with an emphasis on both elegance and indulgence.
The Banking Hall – Grandeur Restored
For those seeking a setting that truly impresses, the historic Banking Hall delivers. Once the nerve centre of Ireland’s financial world, the room has been meticulously restored to highlight its opulent details: mahogany doorways, Corinthian columns, soaring ceilings and glittering chandeliers. Today, it serves as one of the city’s most sought-after venues, playing host to weddings, gala dinners and private celebrations. To stand beneath its chandeliers is to stand within a piece of Dublin’s history, one that continues to lend grandeur and glamour to every gathering.
A Cultural Capital on Your Doorstep
Location, of course, is everything – and The College Green Hotel places you at the very heart of Dublin. Trinity College, with its centuries of scholarship and the Book of Kells, is just across the way. Temple Bar, with its vibrant mix of galleries, pubs and restaurants, is moments from the door. For shopping, Grafton Street remains unbeatable, while the theatres of the city centre ensure culture is never far away. To stay here is to stay connected to Dublin’s rhythm, with the pleasure of retreating into quiet luxury whenever you choose.
Evenings of Style
When the day winds down, the hotel reveals further layers. The Mint Bar, tucked into the building’s former bank vaults, offers cocktails with a sense of intimacy and intrigue. Irish cuisine, served with a contemporary twist, showcases the best of local produce. Whether it’s a celebratory toast or a quiet dinner, evenings here unfold with effortless style.
A Dublin Address to Return To
In a city defined by heritage and creativity, The College Green Hotel Dublin is more than a five-star stay – it is an experience that captures the essence of Dublin at its most elegant. It is a reminder that sometimes the greatest luxury lies not in leaving the city, but in pausing within it. Afternoon Tea beneath a glass canopy, the hush of a historic Banking Hall, the pleasure of a nightcap in a hidden bar – these are the rituals that make Dublin feel timeless.
And perhaps that is its true allure: whether you are a visitor or a local rediscovering your own city, The College Green Hotel offers a sense of occasion woven into the everyday. A timeless indulgence, waiting in the very heart of Dublin. Learn more at www.thecollegegreenhotel.com.
