Dublin's most iconic hotel and a national institution, The Shelbourne is a leading 5 star hotel set overlooking the gardens of St Stephen's Green in the very heart of Dublin City.

Built in 1824, The Shelbourne is a national treasure and has hosted Kings, Queens, Presidents and statesmen from around the world. The hotel has been recently restored to its former glory, but has lost none of its historic charm. The Shelbourne offers an excellent location for exploring Dublin, situated close to many of the city's cultural attractions, from museums and galleries to Trinity College, St Patrick's Cathedral, the shops of Grafton Street and the Guinness Storehouse.

The Shelbourne offers spacious guestrooms equipped with every luxury from Egyptian cotton bedding and marble bathrooms and its 1^st class facilities include air conditioning, wireless Internet access, flat screen TVs and all the luxury amenities you would expect of an internationally renowned five star hotel.

The hotel's facilities include the Mayor's Lounge famous for its afternoon teas in a timeless setting and the Horseshoe Bar, which has been an iconic part of Dublin's social and political scene for over a century. Added to this is the No.27 Cocktail Bar and Lounge and the renowned Saddle Room fine dining restaurant.

A stay at The Shelbourne is a quintessential Dublin experience and the hotel's recent renovation has secured for the hotel a number of awards including Ireland's Best Hotel in the Hospitality Ireland Awards 2007.
