The art collection was particularly noteworthy. Very nice sheets added to the luxurious feel. Little treats were left on my bedside table each night. The hotel staff directed me to a beautiful patio where I enjoyed Irish breakfast tea and fresh scones upon arrival. The location is superb, the Merrion Square neighborhood is beautiful. It is within walking distance of many of the city's high points. Every staff member I encountered was attentive and professional. Breakfast included great gluten free options.
