The Lobby

Four Seasons Dublin is ideally situated in one of Dublin’s most affluent neighborhoods, yet only minutes for the city’s main shopping area.  Travelers seeking a quiet alternative to the traditional city hotel will love the blend of service, luxury and convenience that Four Seasons Dublin affords.

Located at The Royal Dublin Society, The Four Seasons Dublin is surrounded by lush landscaping and one of Dublin’s most sought after residential areas.  The city center is only a five to ten minute drive from Four Seasons, and we recommend taking advantage of the hotel’s complimentary daily car service (as of 2009, a brand new BMW 7 Series awaits)  After a long day in the bustling Dublin city center, an oasis of calm awaits you upon your return to the hotel.  Enjoy one of the many on-property features including an extensive fitness center and spa, indoor swimming pool, and a wide variety of dining options.

Guest rooms and suites at Four Seasons Dublin take an equally soothing approach as they are both luxurious and elegant, while extending all the comforts of home.  Guest rooms are traditionally appointed in tones and colors that reflect the hotel’s location.  We found that guest rooms were among the largest we’ve seen in Europe, and even quite large by North American standards as well.  Because the property was built as a Four Seasons from the ground up, no detail has been spared.  You will find spacious bathrooms with dual vanities, walk-in glass showers and separate deep soaking bathtubs.  Some guest rooms feature balconies, mountain and city views, while others enjoy peaceful views of the hotel’s lushly landscaped courtyard.  In typical Four Seasons fashion, the beds are simply amazing.

While most of the hotel maintains a more traditional approach, ICE bar (located on the hotel’s lobby level) is a contemporary bar experience that showcases local art, and is often an evening hot spot.
