LL-AL Conrad Dublin, Earlsfort Terrace, T 01 602 8900, F 01 676 5424, http://www.conradhotels.com Close to St Stephen’s Green and the city’s finest restaurants, this place has been recently refurbished in classy modern style and has every mod con that the discerning traveller needs to unwind from a hard day’s sightseeing.

L The Merrion, Merrion St Upper, T 01 603 0600, F 01 603 0700, http://www.merrionhotel.com The Merrion is the ultimate in understated luxury in the heart of the city. Four converted Georgian houses – one was the birthplace of the Duke of Wellington – plus a new block in the same style, surround pretty formal gardens. Spacious, comfortable rooms are supplemented by two restaurants, a pool and a fitness centre, and there’s an impressive collection of art scattered around the serene interiors.

C Trinity Capital, Pearse St, T 01 648 1000, F 01 648 1010, http://www.capital-hotels.com A newish, fashionable hotel in a quiet area between Trinity College and the river, the Trinity Capital offers outlandish décor, comfortable rooms, free entrance to Fireworks nightclub on the corner and a key card to get you into more than half a dozen other pubs and clubs around the city for free. Good breakfasts, too.

C-D Camden Court Hotel, Camden St, T 01 475 9666, F 01 475 9677, http://www.camdencourthotel.com Located amid the quaint shops and music pubs of the ‘village quarter’, this huge, modern hotel is thankfully away from the street noise of late-night clubbers but remains close enough to all the sights. Best of all, it has its own leisure centre and pool where you can work off all the extra calories you may have consumed at the carvery in the popular Pishogues bar. Secure car parking for hotel guests is a bonus.

C-D Mercer Hotel, Mercer St Lower, T 01 478 3677, F 01 478 0328, http://www.mercerhotel.ie With a very central location off Grafton Street, this new, middle-range hotel is far enough out of Temple Bar to afford some peace at night, but still has easy access to shops and city centre sights.

L The Clarence, 6-8 Wellington Quay, T 01 407 0800, F 01 407 0820, http://www.theclarence.ie Originally built in 1852 and now owned by U2, as someone will no doubt inform you sooner or later, this venerable old hotel has preserved its original wood panelling amid many modish embellishments: leather-clad lifts, CD players (but no tea- and coffee-making facilities) in the individually designed bedrooms and Egyptian cotton on the king-size beds. The decor is enlivened by rich colours and Irish craftwork; friendly staff wearing designer outfits that look vaguely clerical, and a bookless lounge called the Study has original artwork on the walls. All this contributes to the hotel’s strange mix of the spartan and the self-indulgent.

B Paramount Hotel, Parliament St and Essex Gate, T 01 417 9900, F 01 417 9904, http://www.paramounthotel.ie , Temple Bar’s only quiet street is now home to this recently built labyrinthine place. It has large comfortable rooms, several of which look out onto an internal courtyard, offering a quiet night amid the hubbub of the area. Breakfast can get very busy, so be prepared to get up before the carousers if you want to eat in peace. Downstairs is the Turk’s Head bar for those who want a short stagger back to their bedrooms; you may even catch sight of the belly dancer who livens the place up now and again.

D Jury’s Inn Christchurch, Christchurch Place, T 01 454 0000, F 01 454 0012, http://www.bookajurysinn.com">http://www.bookajurysinn.com Jury’s comfortable rooms will accommodate three adults, or two adults and two children, making them good value for families or groups, although breakfast is not included in the room rate. There’s secure parking, a pub with live music and an informal restaurant on site.

LL-L Four Seasons, Simmonscourt Rd, T 01 665 4000, F 01 665 4099, http://www.fourseasons.com The Four Seasons is a very luxurious hotel, with huge public areas, neoclassical decor and attentive staff. The large bedrooms and suites would be spacious enough to accommodate a small commune. Silver service sets the tone in the genteel, roomy restaurant, which looks out on to a garden courtyard and the sleek new Ice Bar attracts the city’s coolest thirtysomethings. A place to spoil yourself.
