The best hotel in Dublin
Pros:

This is the best hotel in Dublin. We stayed here at Christmas and it was exceptional. The staff were unbelievable so nice and friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect.

The hotel is great for kids! It was decorated to beautifully for Christmas and the food was excellent. We had Christmas Eve lunch here and was gorgeous (Koztastinas looked after us so well). The rooms were perfect so nice and spacious and the breakfast is amazing (Erin was so lovely and attentive every morning)

We will definitely be back!!

Recent stay at the exceptional Intercontinental Dublin
Pros:

This stay was at the end of a seven week trip to Asia and Australia including exotic Bali. We stayed in five star hotels in every location. The Intercontinental Dublin topped them all. The room was exceptionally comfortable, the service provided by the staff at the restaurant and bars and housekeeping was excellent. The vocalist/pianist in the lobby lounge was a delight, the whole room enjoyed her singing. The attention to detail in every area was first class. It is indeed our favourite hotel anywhere.

Wonderful stay with a few friends
Pros:

As always, we had a wonderful stay in the Intercontinental where we met up with old friends for a short stay.
We were warmly welcomed as we arrived on a wet & windy afternoon and escorted with ease to our bedrooms which were very large and spacious and I can safely say I don't think I have ever slept in a more comfortable bed with beautiful linen and plush fluffy pillows.
We enjoyed a few drinks and dinner in the Lobby lounge, which was scrumptious and very relaxing, I would highly recommend the Prawn & Lobster cocktail it was delicious.
Breakfast the next day was a feast, and we were so well looked after by all the staff and enjoyed both the buffet selection and Eggs benedict from the table menu.
Thank you for a great stay it was first class and we will definitely return.

Wonderful Dublin Experience
Pros:

My wife and I blindly booked 5 nights at the Intercontinental Dublin to see what the City of Dublin was like for the holidays. What a great experience. It started with Trevor greeting us at the door and the wonderful staff at the front desk. Orlinsa, the hotel manager warmly greeted us everyday to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay. The hotel lobby was beautifully decorated for the holidays but even without that, it is a beautiful hotel. Don't miss the "Whiskey Bar", it looks like something you would see in the movies and the bartenders are friendly and generous. I would highly recommend the breakfast package. The assortment of food was great and filling. Jackie would great us every morning and seat us with a good view of the garden. We had a lite lunch on afternoon and dinner our last night and we were no disappointed. Our suite was spacious and beautiful. This trip was a gift my wife and I gave each other for Christmas and what a wonderful gift it was. If you are going to visit Dublin, I highly recommend staying at the Intercontinental.

A note of appreciation for the InterContinental Dublin, a place that continues to exemplify excellence in hospitality.
Pros:

I have been visiting for years and am always met with the same welcoming warmth. On this occasion, our host Safi was outstanding – attentive and genuinely welcoming. The bar staff are exceptional, and the cocktails are a touch of class: refined, balanced, and impeccably presented.

True quality lies in consistency, and the InterContinental delivers it effortlessly.
