MERRION HOTEL - Co. Dublin
Opened in 1996 to acclaimed reviews worldwide, the Merrion hotel is situated at Dublin's most exclusive address immediately across from the Irish Government buildings.  A series of four magnificent Georgian Mansions have lovingly been restored over a four year period, following prescribed Historical Society standards.  Over 64 million pounds have been expended to make the Merrion the premier, five star hotel in Dublin (some say it deserves six stars on the five star scale!).  Residential from the outside, the interior delights from one room to another...magnificent restored plasterwork...modern courtyard garden...restored cellar casual restaurant and pub...the owner's multimillion-dollar private art collection displayed about the hotel.  Ideally located, but quiet and elegant in every way. Dublin's only Michelin multi-starred restaurant, paid the re-developers their very highest compliment..unheard of in the gourmet restaurant business...they moved their restaurant to the hotel.
