The Marker Hotel, Dublin
Expert reviews
“The Marker is Dublin’s hottest new hotel, drawing trendsetters to its rooftop bar and tourists to its comfy, colorful, modern rooms. It’s part of the Daniel Libeskind-designed Grand Canal Square in Dublin’s new tech hub.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Dublin.
“The Marker is without equal in this city of architecturally restrained lodgings. Rooms here are expansive (and expensive), with an angular, geometric feel, and its rooftop bar offers some of the best views in the city.”
“Glamorous, fashionable, and smarter than smart, Dublin’s Marker Hotel enjoys a waterside location, ritzy interiors, an impressive spa and a rooftop bar with vistas across the Dublin docklands. Bedrooms are spacious and inviting, and service is polished.”

All you need to know
The Maker Hotel is located in the emerging Docklands district of Dublin. It is a budding location that allows guests to quickly and easily explore and view key attractions like the Convention Centre, National Gallery of Ireland and Bord Gais Energy Theatre. There is never a dull moment in this city and this hotel’s ideal location puts guests front and center of it all.
The rooms are inspired by a cool-toned color palette combined with cobalt and citrus splashes. They are warm and inviting, especially when guests spot the large and comfortable bed. The rooms are coolly air-conditioned and the bathrooms entice guests to try out the separate marble-clad showers.
The other hotel amenities are just as great as the guest rooms. They include a full-service spa, restaurant, indoor pool area and ticket assistance to all the sight and need-to-see attractions. The ground floor features a cocktail bar and brasserie for a thoroughly entertaining time. Not to be outdone, the rooftop lounge and terrace feature 360-degree views of the city, which guests can enjoy with a drink. There is free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel.

Nice but LOTS of unavoidable add on charges.
Great bathroom, comfy bed, tasty tea in the room. The staff were unreal - went above and beyond on every detail. They are a 5 star component to this establishment.
Many additional charges! I booked to stay with my 2 dogs, that was additional charge. I wanted to park my car, that was additional charge. Breakfast came at an additional charge. For context I spent a little more on accommodation on this trip so these things would be included. In this respect it felt more like a Travel Lodge. While I would recommend, I would caution to research additional charges, because there will be some!

1 night in Anantara The maker Hotel
Lovely customer service, nice and clean room. Brilliant building design and theme. Loved that the room had a bath and double pillows. The hotel felt very luxurious. A kind guy offered us some lemonade during checking in, and then another nice guy took our bags to our hotel room. Not too far from the city centre. Overall, I am very happy, and we will definitely come back again sometime.

Beds were comfortable, bathroom was great, with both a bath and shower. Room size was excellent. Guest services / concierge were exceptionally helpful.
Receptionist on check in was in training, so we didn’t get a full overview of the facilities, requiring us to go back and ask later. Due to our early check in, we were also told that we would be sent a text when the room was ready, we received no notification. We also only received turndown one night out of the 3.

The Marker gets better and better every time I stay. One of Dublin’s best hotels by a long shot
Staff and food were exceptional
Totally my issue and my fault but parking is hard to locate. I ended up in the car park that didn’t have a hotel rate even though it’s 40m from the hotel.

I struggled to get the A/C to play ball in the room, it wasn’t quite powerful enough (in my opinion)

So worth it absolutely beautiful
The hotel was gorgeous, the man at the front desk was so friendly and helpful he was young and had light hair I didn’t get his name! We got an upgrade as it was our first time staying, the room was unbelievable so modern clean and comfortable. The spa and pool is beautiful!
We were waiting on our lunch for at least 40 mins but the waiter did come over and explain why! It came out cold but nothing else to complain about!

They made appropriate arrangements for specific requests we had (for example, firm mattress). Excellent spa, good food, and drinks.
Some staff in the bar area do not seem to have much experience in dealing with customers.

Perfect NYE getaway
Staff very friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious and clean and the bathroom was perfect with a choice of waterfall shower or bathtub. The restaurant was great and had a wide selection of food and wines to choose from and the bar in the lobby had a varying menu of cocktails and alcohol to suit everyone’s taste. The spa facilities were excellent however we did notice a discarded cup of water that had sat in the steam room for the two days that we visited so it made us wonder how often these facilities were cleaned.
The room lighting wasn’t great, at night time especially my girlfriend found it rather difficult to get a decent lighting spot to do her makeup so bringing a ring light or lugging your facial care and make up to the bathroom might be the best option. The room view was in all honesty not great. We appeared to face inwards and had a view of the other rooms of the hotel and some of them appeared to be in a bad state with cracked windows or dirty curtains some of them appeared to not even be in use with empty rooms and uncovered mattresses, for a 5 star hotel I was expecting a better view if I’m honest.

Fantastic hotel, probably our number 1 in Dublin!
We stayed the first night in Merrion Dublin, due to the fact that it Merrion was no. 1 on Trip Advisor, undoubtedly Merrion has a charming location, in a very respectable district, also with a beautiful internal garden, but apart from that, we do not regret that we chose Anantara for our next stay, because the stay was wonderful, different but also great - extremely comfortable room, great beds, beautiful bedding, royal bathroom, very nice service, plus a view from the window of the modern part of the city and the docks. Great place and stay1
Nothing, this was a perfect stay.

A great mark
The attention of the staff, the taste of the food, the pool was great. The hotel was clean and the bedroom was clean and tidy we were giving an upgrade due to our wedding anniversary which was a lovely touch.
A little wait at reception when we were checking out but as I said it was not very long
