Top Boutique Hotels in Dublin, Ireland

The Irish capital is a charming destination for travelers of all kinds, and there are plenty of places to lay your head. If you’re looking for an interesting place to stay with a bit more privacy than a hostel, these boutique hotels could be right up your alley.

First up is The Ariel, a guesthouse spread over two Victorian townhouses near the center of the city. With rooms from around $145, it won’t break the bank either.

The Dean Hotel is a similarly economical option, coming in at the same price point as The Ariel. This option is similarly close to town and offers great access to all of the main sites. The rooms are charming and well designed.

For a characterful stay, check out the Schoolhouse Hotel, which as the name suggests is housed in a former schoolhouse. The building makes for an interesting stay, and the hotel is situated on the Grand Canal. At $95 per night, this little hotel is a great option if you are counting the pennies, but can’t bear the thought of staying in a hostel.

For a more modern feel, the Beacon Hotel is a great choice. With 88 rooms, it is slightly larger than the other hotels listed here, but it’s a trendy addition to the hotel scene in Dublin. There is an in-house cocktail bar and Thai restaurant, as well as a beer garden. Prices hover around $160 per night.

Whatever you are visiting the Irish capital for, these boutique hotels will offer a great base from which to explore the city.
