We had Dinner at the upscale, classic and yet very fashionable Lord Mayor' s Lounge at the famous Shelbourne Hotel in the heart of Dublin. ( The Shelbourne is managed by Marriott under the Renaissance brand - but in our opinion the Shelbourne should be rightfully a Ritz-Carlton branded hotel - which belongs also to Marriott ). The Dinner was... more

It would appear that this hotel has suffered in todays climate of the 'credit crunch'. The doorman, in his top hat (perched ungainly to one side of his head) was literally moping the front entrance - this activity (& other activities) led to guests being required to carry in their own bags. The concierge, purported to be on 24hr service,... more

We stayed here for a girly weekend. We stayed in one of their standard rooms which was small but decorated beautifully. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in - it was devine. The best thing about this hotel is the location. It just can't be beat. The down side was that there is no... more

We stayed in June 08 - the overall stay was good. The room was of a standard, almost expected from a hotel of this standard. The staff on reception were excellent. The breakfast was incredible! However, the residents bar was most disappointing. This was the second time we had stayed at this expensive hotel, and had expected some kind of... more

We stayed at The Shelbourne in November 2008. The hotel is very beautiful, the entrance was luxurious but at the same time felt very happening, thanks to The Saddle Room at the front part of the hotel, which seems to be the hotspot for drinks and rendez-vous in Dublin. The room was also lovely, it was not excessively spacious but... more

My wife and I stayed this weekend at the Shelbourne Hotel for our anniversary we were treated like Royalty, nothing was too much trouble, the detail and the service were fantastic, the front office manager Paula who i want to mentione specifically was a delight, my wife was very impressed with the romantic swan arrangement and rose petals on the... more

We stayed in Dublin for 3 nights at the start of our trip to Ireland. The location of this hotel is ideal, walking to great shopping, Trinity College and the Dublin Castle. Great park just in front of the property, safe and fun to walk through. Easy access to other tourist activities and a 15 minute walk to the Temple... more

Old world grandeur meets you at the front door of this historic hotel in a perfect central Dublin location. After an efficient and welcoming check in, we went directly to our room to relax after our long flight from the US. The room was of average size with a king bed. We asked for a view if possible, but those... more

We were very eager to begin our Ireland vacation with three nights at the famous Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin. We arrived--no doormen. We asked for concierge help and found it wanting. The business center had old equipment and charged guests for its use. The cost of food was ridiculously high given the great restaurants nearby. There's no questions that this... more
