The Mont is a stylish, boutique hotel perched right on the corner of Dublin’s iconic Merrion Square. Formerly known as The Mont Clare, it underwent a stunning transformation to become a modern urban retreat. The redesign was spearheaded by the Dublin-based firm 21Spaces, who masterfully blended the building’s historic Georgian roots with a fresh, contemporary aesthetic.
Step inside, and you’ll find a mix of industrial-inspired decor, bold colors, and clever nods to its heritage. You can spot original Georgian sash windows paired with modern prints, while the lobby uses materials like concrete and wood to create a seamless flow between the building and the lush greenery of the nearby square.
One of the hotel’s standout features is “The Sin Bin,” a trendy sports bar that includes a beautiful, glass-walled winter garden. It’s a great spot to grab a craft cocktail or a pint while catching a game, offering a cool, relaxed atmosphere that feels distinctly “Dublin.”
The location is unbeatable for culture seekers. You are just a short stroll away from the historic Trinity College, where you can see the famous Book of Kells. The National Gallery of Ireland and the Oscar Wilde House are also right on your doorstep, making it the perfect base for exploring the city.
Whether you’re there for the design, the history, or the proximity to major landmarks, The Mont offers a unique way to experience the heart of the capital. It’s a fantastic spot for anyone wanting to be where the action is.
Expert reviews
“For a solid new offering, try the Mont, a trendy boutique hotel with rooms that have both industrial and mid-century influences. The hotel is just off of leafy Merrion Square, a short stride to the best of the city’s sights.”
“The Mont, with its 96 well-sized rooms, lively sports pub and great location, is a reliable place to stay in Dublin – and even better if you snag a reasonable rate. You’re well-placed to explore the city’s museums, and despite the central setting it’s still a peaceful place to be.”

Great stay overall
The staff were very nice and helpful. They even offered us a free early check-in when we arrived tired on the first day, which we really appreciated. The hotel was clean and modern, the bed was comfortable. The location was very good, within walking distance to all major attractions, yet in a quiet, safe, and pleasant neighborhood away from noisy or unsafe areas.

Overall lovely stay.
Great hotel with a modern style & convenient location.
Room was clean & fresh but rather small. Coffee machine was almost impossible to use as placed in an awkward position which didn’t allow for lever to be fully lifted.

Beautiful hotel.
So much attention to detail in the rooms and spotlessly clean. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept on!

Fabulous
The staff on the desk was very friendly. We have stayed in the hotel before and because of this we got some lovely Butlers chocolates. It was a lovely gesture. Our room was looking out over Merion Square, which is lovely, and the bed was so comfortable, we had a fabulous nights sleep.
The price of a Pepsi Max was €4!! I found this very expensive.
