More information on The Merrion

The Tethra Spa offers a fabulous 18 metre swimming pool, together with a fully equipped gymnasium, steam room and beauty treatment centre. The Merrion is Dublin's most exclusive address. The aim is to provide understated Georgian luxury and it achieves this in some style. (NN 07/2008) The hotel is comprised of 4 Georgian townhouses. There is no grand entrance, a nameplate and doorman in traditional livery and flags of the nations are the only clues that an exclusive hotel is on the site. Situated in the heart of Georgian Dublin, a short walk from Stephen's Green, the hotel has a prime central location.
