The Mont, Dublin
More photosThe 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.”

Fabulous hotel ! Great location!
Wonderful hotel! Very central great location. Even facing the street the room was very quiet with double glazed windows & aircon the bed was comfortable! Couldn’t fault the staff they were very accommodating . If you’re undecided about breakfast don’t be ! Its amazing and cheaper if you book it when you check in

The location was excellent, very clean hotel and superb, accommodating staff.
The location was perfect for walking to popular areas. The staff was very accommodating, even granting a slightly later check out.
The bathroom was small and no vent to decrease humidity from the shower, however, this seems to be the case in European countries and was not a huge issue.

The bartender and the bed!

Lovely hotel in great location
Great location, clean, quiet rooms with sturdy doors, well kept and modern comfy room, bedding was warm and the bed cosy. The room had a Nespresso with nice coffee selection (not just the basic) and a kettle, good hairdryer, even an ironing board and an iron. The bar was nice and cozy for a relaxing drink after a day of sightseeing. The staff were super friendly and polite. Aline made us feel welcome. The breakfast was great as well. Will 100% come back!

I would like to stay again.
I was glad that the bathroom had a bathtub along with a shower. To have an espresso machine in my room was also great. The front desk team was able to assist me when I first had trouble using it. Luckily, I experienced a smooth early check-in, as the room was already ready when I arrived around half 11.

Great property in a great location.
Breakfast was a little pricy but good. Staff was exceptional. They were always looking to enhance your experience. Rooms were standard and clean.
I wish check in was a little earlier. I was able to drop my luggage so it worked out in the end.

Superb, Hotel, location, Dublin the whole experience
We did not have breakfast at the Hotel although if it was as good as everything else we experienced I'm sure it would have been fantastic, the staff were excellent, rooms clean and stylish, the Hotel and bar were excellent and the Gym was out of this world.
There was nothing we did not like about the experience or the Hotel

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.

Other Dublin hotels
The Clarence, Dublin
The Clarence Hotel is a historic landmark nestled in the heart of Dublin’s vibrant Temple Bar district. Established in 1852, the building originally featured Art Deco-inspired architecture designed by the practice Bradbury & Evans. It sits proudly along the River Liffey, offering a unique dual-entrance layout that connects the bustling quay to the iconic cobbled streets of the city center.
CNN“Owned by Bono and The Edge of U2 fame, this riverside hotel is all class, with its bright oak woods and chocolate leathers. With 49 rooms — many of which overlook the River Liffey — The Clarence qualifies for boutique status, but without all of the bombast that characterizes many designer hotels.”
Harding Hotel, Dublin
The Harding Hotel is tucked away on Fishamble Street, one of Dublin’s oldest and most historic thoroughfares. It sits right in the heart of the medieval city, offering a quieter, traditional charm while remaining just steps away from the bustling Temple Bar district and the iconic River Liffey.
CNN“Comfy and friendly, the Harding Hotel is situated on Fishamble Lane, where Handel’s “Messiah” premiered in 1742. More specifically, it’s located directly across from Christchurch Cathedral, which is visible from some rooms, and is within walking distance of all of Dublin’s main sights.”
Iveagh Garden Hotel, Dublin
The Iveagh Garden Hotel is a true Dublin gem, tucked away in the city center. It is uniquely situated right beside the Iveagh Gardens, a stunning "secret" park designed by Ninian Niven in 1865. While staying there, you can enjoy a peaceful escape that feels worlds apart from the bustling streets nearby.
New York Times“The chic Iveagh Garden Hotel has rooms in a range of sizes, decked out in green and blue velvet accents and with generous bathrooms. The hotel backs onto the lush Iveagh Gardens and is walking distance from many city sights.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Dublin.
The Merrion Hotel, Dublin
The Merrion Hotel is a masterpiece of Georgian architecture, formed by four meticulously restored 18th-century townhouses. Built in the 1760s for Dublin’s wealthy elite, the property includes Mornington House at No. 24, which is famously the birthplace of Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington.
CNN + 4 more“The Merrion is all class, kitted out in gleaming white marble and gorgeous restored Georgian details. The hotel’s 123 guestrooms are light and airy, fitted to an impeccable standard with period furnishings and Irish fabrics in neutral tones.”

The location can't be beat. Close enough to most sights but still peaceful and quiet.
