“In Dublin, this is a hotel with a strong sense of place, steeped in Georgian history and offering live traditional Irish music. I think its location just north of the tourist district provides a quieter base, while still being an easy walk to major attractions. For me, the blend of period charm with practical amenities makes it a distinctive choice.”
