AT MERRION SQUARE, Dublin

, 2

Ireland

 

The Alexander Hotel at Merrion Square is a 4 star establishment set in an impressive neo-Georgian corner block at the heart of Dublin's scenic southeastern side. A former haunt of such luminaries as Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats, and Daniel O'Connell, Merrion Square also has the dubious distinction of being the site on which the British Embassy was burned to the ground following Ireland's Bloody Sunday riots of 1972. Steeped in history and highly convenient, this hotel's setting makes it the ideal choice for business and leisure travelers alike.
The Alexander combines classic furnishings with modern conveniences and an emphasis on service. Each of the 102 guest bedrooms and suites is spacious, air-conditioned, and meticulously decorated in warm, modern tones. Direct dial telephones, cable television, and data hookups are standard in all rooms, and the hotel's four business suites feature a fax machine, laser printer, and spacious work stations. Guests will delight in the hotel's 24 hour gymnasium, its valet parking, and its state-of-the-art meeting facilities.
The Alexander's three main halls, The Aston Suites, The Annesly, and The Rooftop, offer guests a choice of elegant and functional settings, equipped with all modern amenities, in which to hold their business conferences or social events. The hotel's stylish restaurant, Caravaggios, and its convivial bar, Winners, are happy to serve guests a tasty cocktail or a carefully prepared meal. At the edge of Merrion Square, the Alexander is just a short stroll from such attractions as Grafton Street, The National Gallery, and the Natural History Museum, and is only minutes from other fine dining, shopping, and entertainment venues.
