More photosThe Westbury Hotel is a true Dublin institution, perfectly tucked away just off the city’s famous Grafton Street. Since opening over 40 years ago, it has become a cornerstone of the capital’s hospitality scene, blending understated luxury with a distinctly Irish soul. It stands as the flagship property of The Doyle Collection, a family-owned group founded by the late P.V. Doyle.
Stepping inside, you’ll find one of the finest private art collections in Ireland gracing the mezzanine and The Gallery. The design throughout the building is a masterclass in elegance, featuring bespoke Irish craftsmanship like custom-woven carpets and fine Lissadell linens. The Sidecar, their 1930s-inspired cocktail bar, remains a local favorite for its signature martinis served tableside.
History buffs and culture lovers will find the location unbeatable. You are positioned right between the historic grounds of Trinity College and the tranquil St. Stephen’s Green. A short walk takes you to the National Gallery of Ireland or the ancient halls of Dublin Castle, placing you at the absolute heart of the city’s creative and business quarters.
Beyond its physical beauty, the hotel is known for its collaborative spirit, frequently showcasing local designers and suppliers. Whether you are visiting for the legendary Afternoon Tea in The Gallery or simply looking for a quiet refuge amidst the bustle of the city, The Westbury remains a premier choice for those seeking a sophisticated Dublin experience.
Expert reviews
“This traditional hotel enjoys an enviable location just off Dublin’s main shopping thoroughfare, Grafton Street. Recent renovations have given new life to The Westbury’s classic atmosphere: flourishes of modern decor take on an Asian-meets-Western aesthetic with cool, rich tones.”
“This luxurious, chandelier-filled, modern hotel just off Grafton Street is a favorite with elegantly dressed Dubliners who stop for afternoon tea in the Gallery, the spacious mezzanine-level main lobby, furnished with a grand piano and a grand view out onto the bustling streets.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Dublin.
“Basically conceived with well-heeled shopaholics in mind, this top-end hotel on busy Grafton Street is a luxurious and stylish retreat. The lobby is vast and grand, with sofas designed to keep your posture perfect as you gossip. Bedrooms are huge and modern.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Dublin.
“In its relatively short life of 30-plus years, The Westbury has elevated itself beyond many hotels in the Irish capital. Hidden away off Grafton Street, straddling the city’s bustling shopping and creative quarters, the hotel its now as intrinsic a part of the Dublin experience as the Ha’penny Bridge.”
“The luxurious Westbury offers excellence in facilities, service and gastronomy, plus a beguiling dash of the personal touch. All this, plus an unrivalled location in the very centre of Dublin’s main shopping and entertainment district.”

Nice hotel let down by poor service and facilities not available to residents
Excellent location. Liked rooms and bathrooms. Quality of breakfast.
Room wasn't ready when we arrived after check in time. So we went to the bar and it was very hard to get seating even though we were residents. Breakfast order had to be sent back because they got it wrong. Valet and concierge was a mess upon dropping and retrieval. When picking up my car they came to after 10 minutes of waiting to say they had lost my keys and could i help them search for them. No room for us at restaurant at breakfast even though were were down very early.

A Stay Worth Remembering!
Hospitality, generosity, prompt action, professionalism.
I truly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The hotel location was amazing. The staff were so kind and welcoming, the room was clean and cozy, and everything felt comfortable and easy. It’s the kind of place I’d happily come back to and recommend to friends.

The location, staff and ambience of this hotel is wonderful.
The breakfast is amazing. You must partake! The flowers at reception are quite something! We stayed in two suites which were stunning. This hotel is right in the centre which makes it very convenient for everything. Our beds were very, very comfortable and the room had lots of nice touches. This is my 2nd time at this hotel and each stay has brought many happy memories.
The hotel was extremely busy on the day we checked in and there was a slightly late checkin but we offered a round of cocktails which made up for any inconvenience. Not really a bad moment.

We have stayed in many different hotels in Dublin , The Westbury is our number 1
We did not have breakfast; our flight was very early. The duty manger personally came to the room, and knocked on the door to ensure we were awake. The wake up call was malfunctioning. Much appreciated the attention to detail.

Other Dublin hotels
The Marker Hotel, Dublin
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.
New York Times + 2 more“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 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.”
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.”

Latroupe Jacobs Inn, Dublin
Latroupe Jacobs Inn is a standout in Dublin, primarily because it is the city’s only purpose-built youth hostel. Rather than being housed in a repurposed older building, it was designed from the ground up to cater specifically to modern travelers who value both social connection and personal space.
Telegraph“Colourful, modern, extremely keenly priced, and friendly, Jacob’s Inn offers excellent and economical accommodation in the very centre of Dublin. You won’t find frills and glamour here, but you will find a smooth and efficiently-run hostel that does its job well.”
