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.

L-AL Jury’s Ballsbridge/The Towers, Lansdowne Rd, T 01 660 5000 (Ballsbridge), T 01 667 0033 (Towers), F 01 660 5540 (Ballsbridge), F 01 667 2595 (Towers), http://www.jurysdoyle.com This large, friendly hotel has spacious bedrooms, an indoor/outdoor pool and gym, free parking and a good choice of eating and drinking options. Attached but separate is The Towers, eight floors of air-conditioned luxury rooms, with a cool hospitality lounge and exclusive breakfast area. Guests can enjoy complimentary evening cocktails, all-day cappuccinos, plus all the sociable fun of the main hotel next door.

D Bewley’s Hotel Ballsbridge, Merrion Rd, T 01 668 1111, F 01 668 1999, http://www.bewleyshotels.com At around E99 for up to three adults or a family of four, Bewley’s smart, spacious and comfortable bedrooms represent excellent value, especially in the Ballsbridge area. The red-brick Victorian building has been converted from a convent school and the original entrance way opens into a roomy public area. Downstairs is the quality O’Connell’s restaurant, as well as a café.

B Clarion Hotel Dublin IFSC, Excise Walk, T 01 433 8800, F 01 433 8801, info@clarionhotelifsc.ie The Clarion is a shiny new hotel, set in the shiny new IFSC area of the city, overlooking the Liffey. Riveting industrial river scapes are on view from the windows of the fresh, big, uncluttered rooms, and the new docks development provides plenty of sandwich bars, restaurants and clubs nearby. The hotel has a fitness centre and pool, and the bar serves Asian fusion food. Neat breakfast.

B Gresham, 25 O’Connell St Upper, T 01 874 6881, F 01 878 7175, http://www.gresham-hotels.com">http://www.gresham-hotels.com The Gresham claims to have the highest ratio of porters to rooms in Ireland. Close to the GPO, the hotel has a very colourful past: it was destroyed by British shelling in 1916, hosted the Irish Nazi party’s last annual Christmas get-together before the outbreak of World War II and withstood Beatle-mania in the 1960s. The elegiac closing scene of Joyce’s ‘The Dead’ was also set in one of the hotel’s 288 spacious guest rooms.

B The Morrison, 15 Ormond Quay, T 01 887 2400, F 01 878 3185, http://www.morrisonhotel.ie Part of the gentrification of North Dublin, this classy designer building sits unobtrusively on the banks of the Liffey and vies with The Clarence as Dublin’s hippest hotel. New-fashioned decor in black, white and brown is refreshingly un-Irish, and is supplemented by mood lighting, CD-players in the rooms, complimentary tea and coffee on request, and dried things in big glass bowls. Breakfast is not included in the room rate. The hotel restaurant, Halo, is renowned as one of the city’s most stylish places to eat.

C-D Academy Hotel, Findlater Place, T 01 878 0666, F 01 878 0600, http://www.academy-hotel.com The Academy enjoys a useful central location just off O’Connell St but away from all the fuss. It’s busy, but still attentive to customers, with bright, modern, well-equipped rooms, a pleasant buffet breakfast and very reasonable rates. Secure parking is available.

C-D Lynam’s Hotel, 63/64 O’Connell St, T 01 888 0886, F 01 888 0890, http://www.lynams-hotel.com The two Georgian houses that make up Lynam’s Hotel were once owned by the inventor of the tilley lamp. Although they’re bang in the centre of O’Connell Street, the 42 smart and modern bedrooms are not noisy. Inside, the comfortable lounge area on the first floor overlooks the main drag, and the recently improved lobby has a small café at the rear.

D Castle Hotel, 3-4 Gt Denmark St, T 01 874 6949, F 01 872 7674, hotels@indigo.ie The Castle is one of our favourites: a lovingly restored Georgian building that offers so much more (at a better price) than some of the faceless hotels around town. There’s an elegant lounge area, comfortable bedrooms and car parking for guests. (Michael Collins used room 201 as one of his safe houses during the War of Independence.)
