The Marker Hotel, Dublin

Grand Canal Square, Docklands, Dublin 2, D02 CK38, Ireland (show on map)

Now known as Anantara The Marker Dublin Hotel, this striking building is a standout landmark in the city’s vibrant Docklands. The hotel’s name pays homage to the historic Grand Canal, which was once lined with cast-iron markers to guide travelers; the site where the hotel now stands served as the very final milestone of that inland trade route.

Designed by the Portuguese architect Aires Mateus, the building is visually stunning. Its design draws inspiration from the elemental nature of the Irish landscape, specifically the rugged beauty of the Burren and the hexagonal stones of the Giant’s Causeway. This results in a bold, geometric façade that reflects a sleek, contemporary aesthetic.

One of the hotel’s most unique features is its rooftop bar and terrace. It is famously the only five-star hotel in Dublin to offer a 360-degree view, stretching from the cityscape and across the Dublin Mountains to the Irish Sea. Inside, the design continues to impress with angular shapes and a luxurious, cave-like atmosphere.

The hotel is perfectly positioned in the “Silicon Docks,” surrounded by major tech headquarters. If you’re looking to sightsee, you are just a short walk from the iconic Bord Gáis Energy Theatre. Other nearby attractions include the EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, the Famine Sculptures, and the historic Trinity College.

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“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 Guardian review:

“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.”

Telegraph review:

“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.”

My favourite escape

It's a wonderful hotel, I've stayed many times and the service and comfort is excellent, the room service is delicious.

The Chromecast connection is spotty at best. This time I wasn't able to watch a movie because it kept cutting out.

Didn’t start of well but the wee touches won us over

Location is excellent especially if you are going to the Bord Gáis, nice area and extremely clean.
It was a Birthday and a chocolate dessert with Happy Birthday was delivered to room which was a lovely touch

Arrived at 4.40 and our room wasn’t ready despite check in being 3pm. Was told 15mins but had to go back to reception at 5.10 to follow up as we were still waiting.

An absolutely flawless stay at the Anantara Dublin. Luxurious, welcoming, and exceptional from start to finish.

From the moment I arrived, my experience at the Anantara Hotel Dublin was nothing short of exceptional. Every detail, from the warm welcome at check-in to the seamless service throughout my stay, reflected a level of care and professionalism that truly sets this hotel apart.

The room was immaculately clean, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. The attention to detail was evident everywhere, from the luxurious bedding to the thoughtful amenities that made the stay feel indulgent and relaxing.

What really elevated the experience, however, was the staff. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure I felt valued and looked after from the moment I entered the door to when I left. Their friendliness, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made a lasting impression and turned a great stay into an unforgettable one.

The dining experience was equally impressive, with a really delicious breakfast and variety of choice impeccably presented.

From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. It’s rare to find a place that delivers such consistently high standards across every aspect of the stay. I would wholeheartedly recommend Anantara Hotel Dublin to anyone looking for a truly luxurious and memorable experience and I cannot wait to return.

That I had to leave!

Very Comfortable bed.

I like the hotel premium room had very big and comfy bed, very big bathroom, very clean and tidy, mini bar was full of drinks and snacks 👌
Honestly, I recommend to everyone.

1. Black walls in all corridor and in bedroom
2. Staff during breakfast, they charge is breakfast while we were already paid during check in. I had to approach the receptionist to ask why they charge us breakfast while we have already paid? The receptionist confirmed paid and has to speak to the staff on breakfast area, that staff was a bit rude, instead of apologising he just walked away.
