In the heart of the city, The Fitzwilliam Hotel in Dublin is a luxurious hotel situated between the infamous St. Stephen’s Green and city shopping Mecca known as Grafton Street. A five-star property with chic décor and modern design, this hotel is not what you would expect traveling to the Irish city.
White Egyptian linen covers each plush bed, topped with a duck down duvet leaving you practically immobile and wanting to stay in bed all day. In deluxe rooms guests can enjoy an espresso or breakfast while overlooking the green surroundings on their private balcony. Colorful patterns consume the room with a fuchsia throw blanket adorning the bed with a violet tufted headboard. Fresh orchids and freesia decorate each coffee or side table while gold-framed mirrors encapsulate the suite.
Located on the third floor of the hotel, The Spirit Beauty Salon offers extensive tranquility options for guests. Holistic therapist and Dublin’s most experienced beautician, Ursula Daly, provides a range of services for relaxation. Those who seek out a day of pampering while in Dublin can enjoy regenerating facials, deep stone massages, a body wrap, and nail services. Unlike salons in the states, clients have personalized attention from an experienced therapist they can trust and who they are able to contact directly.
The Fitzwilliam Hotel offers guests a high quality cuisine at the critically acclaimed Citron restaurant. With a reinvented menu and chef, Citron encompasses the modern design of the hotel it resides in while offering Mediterranean inspired cuisine. For a culinary experience, delight in dishes created by Ireland’s highly acclaimed chef, Kevin Thornton, at Thornton’s restaurant. Signature dishes like roast suckling pig are on the menu and served up six nights a week. For late night spirits kick back at the hotel bar, Inn on the Green, a classic Irish pub with modern additions.
While the Fitzwilliam Hotel skillfully provides every accommodation needed, its convenient location provides an escape to the city of Dublin. The hotel recently launched “The Fabulous Fitzwilliam Guide,” an insight into the best places to eat, shop and to grab a drink. Discounts are included with partnering businesses where Fitzwilliam’s hotel guests can display their hotel key for VIP treatments. Make sure to review the events section to see what bands or shows are coming to the city while you visit.
Throughout the cobblestone streets of Ireland you are bound to come across any number of historical buildings with local folk telling stories hundreds of years old. Let yourself explore during the day amongst these beautiful attractions but be sure to rest in current times at the ultra-chic and modern Fitzwilliam Hotel.
