Setting

Merry Merrion Square

If nothing quite says Fáilte like a pampered pup mascot, Dublin’s The Mont hotel is spot on for warm welcomes. A boutique hotel at the corner of city-central Merrion Square, it has mid-century-meets-industrial rooms, a cosy copper-coloured bar with an inventive menu of craft cocktails, screens showing the latest sport and, of course, Ireland’s best-known malty drink on tap. Explore the city – you’re right at the heart of it – by day and settle in for pints in the bar’s winter garden as night creeps in. Another drink? Ah, you will, you will…

Food & Drink

Top Table

Grab a table by the window if you fancy a spot of people watching (Wilde would approve) or snag a family-style table by the chef’s window to watch the pizza-making magic happen.

Dress Code

No need to dress to the nines for trendy Speranza or the Sin Bin Bar, but we’d recommend leaving your Guinness souvenir shirt for home use.

Hotel Restaurant

The breakfast buffet – a spread of pastries, jams, fresh fruits, meats and cheeses, cereals and fruit-filled smoothies – is served in Speranza. Hot breakfast favourites can be made to order and zippy teas and coffees are on offer as well.

Hotel Bar

The Sin Bin Bar pours out signature cocktails – love a Moscow Mule? Try its rum-based cousin, a Jerry Loves Ginger – and classic spirits. Unwind in the greenhouse-inspired winter garden, or catch a game of Gaelic football on the big screens (you’ll want burgers to go with the latter, of course).

Last Orders

Speranza is open for breakfast only, from 7am to 10.30am daily.

Planes

Dublin airport is half an hour’s drive from the hotel.

Trains

Hop on Dart trains to travel outside of the city to Bray, Howth and other seaside towns; trains pull into nearby Pearse Station, a four-minute walk from The Mont.

Automobiles

There’s no need for a car in Dublin – walking and public transport are the best ways to get around – but if you’re exploring more of the Emerald Isle, you can park at the Alexander Court car park – two minutes’ walk from the hotel – for €18 a day. The hotel also has eight electric-vehicle charging points.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

If it’s not a holiday without a spot of shopping, you’re in luck: buzzing Grafton Street and Powerscourt shopping centre are within walking distance of the hotel; the latter houses on-trend boutiques, vintage shops and cafés. Bibliophiles, history buffs and architecture fanatics take note: Trinity College is a short stroll away; cross the cobblestoned central square to the impressive Old Library and visit the Book of Kells.

Fancy a hit of fresh air? Hop on a Dart train from Dublin and set off along the coast for an amble along the Bray to Greystones cliff walk; you’ll need a lunch break at veggie-laden The Happy Pear café, of course. The hills of nearby harbour town of Howth turn bright pink with blooms in spring; wander through the forested trails then swing by the waterfront for a fortifying ice-cream cone.

You’ll not be the only pair to do so, but when in Dublin… traipse through the brightly coloured lanes of Temple Bar to the Guinness Storehouse for a pint-sized tour through brewing history that ends with a draught and a bird’s-eye view of the city. For an authentic-feeling pull of Guinness, sidle up to the bar at Grogan’s Castle Lounge, a few steps from the George’s Street Market arcade.
