Set in Dublin's oldest Georgian House (dating back to 1752) and opened in 1971, this local landmark shares Dublin’s most famous street with the Spire, GPO and lots of traffic. The hotel's two main caling cards are its location and free parking. Close to Temple Bar and many of Dublin’s sights, you can leave your car in the free residents underground parking lot on a first come first served basis and explore everything on foot. Owned by Best Western, the rooms are to a formula, though the light-strewn lobby lends a touch of luxury as befits its regal moniker.
