This is a first rate property with the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on in a hotel. Breakfast was included and quite extensive. The bars were always full so we didn't use them. But the location was top notch for the sites of Dublin. Only negative was check out which took three calls for a porter who never showed... More

The Shelbourne has the best location. It's across the street from St. Stephens Green, the National Museum of Ireland-Archeology and History is right behind it and everything else (Trinity College, restaurants, shopping, etc) is a super easy walk. It was clean and the staff was friendly. I can't say it's a five star because it needs some updating, but it's... More

We started our two week holiday in Ireland staying three nights at the Renaissance Shelbourne in Dublin. We were using Marriott Rewards points so were given a standard room that was very comfortable and had all the amenities one would expect at a Renaissance. The staff were very helpful and attentive and the location was excellent; on the north side... More

Almost everything about the shelbourne is the best. The location is central overlooking Stephens Green and an easy walkl or short taxi ride to shipping, restaurants, theatres, pubs and other Dublin attractions. The staff are amongst the most obliging and pleasant that I've met anywhere in the world. The breakfast experience is special in the wonderful Saddle Room but I... More

This is a real five star hotel, located right in the city centre, opposite St Stephen’s Green. The rooms are big, spacious, and with all the features you would expect from a five star hotel. The museum, Grafton street, Dawson street, Trinity College are all few minutes’ walk from the hotel. As it is in the city centre, there are... More

I attended a wedding here at the weekend, it was a fantastic venue, situated close to some great bars, the hotel has it's own amazing bars and function rooms. The rooms are spotlessly clean and look fabulous. The staff all very professional and friendly. Certainly a lot of history within the building, if only the walls could talk! Certainly a... More

I stayed at the Shelbourne for a conference recently. Not only is it at a perfect location in Dublin, close to all you'll probably need, but the rooms were really nice, the food was excellant, the staff extremely friendly and helpful. I loved the twisty halls giving, giving the hotel character. The only thing that I really missed was any... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The world famous Shelbourne Hotel is a timeless landmark in the heart of Dublin. Located only 9km from Dublin Airport, The Shelbourne overlooks the magnificent St. Stephen’s Green, and is just seconds from the city’s sights and shops, commerce and culture. But the connection to Ireland’s capital runs far deeper than location. Founded in 1824, The Shelbourne, a Renaissance Hotel is a place where history has been made – the Irish Constitution was drafted, literary masterpieces were penned and society was shaped. Today, as part of the worldwide Renaissance brand, the hotel has been dramatically restored to its full original splendour. Each of the 265 bedrooms are unique, but they all share a sense of charm, style and above all quality…100% Egyptian cotton bedding by Rivolta Carmignani, elegant marble bathrooms with luxury amenities, flat-screen televisions, high speed internet access and climate control. The Shelbourne has 19 beautifully appointed suites, 12 of which are named after famous guests who have stayed at the hotel, such as Princess Grace, John F. Kennedy and Michael Collins and Eamonn De Valera. At the very heart of Dublin’s very best times for almost 200 years, The Shelbourne continues to be the city’s favourite hotel for fine food and drinks in an incomparable environment for generations of Dubliners. The Shelbourne offers a superb choice of dining venues; The Saddle Room, a modern steak and seafood restaurant, The Lord Mayor’s Lounge which serves Dublin’s only true afternoon tea, the renowned Horseshoe Bar and No. 27 Bar & Lounge, the place to see and be seen in Dublin! The hotel features a luxurious Spa offering six treatment rooms, including a suite for two people to share their spa experience together, a manicure and pedicure area as well as an opulent relaxation room. A 17.5m swimming pool, thermal facilities, dance studio and state-of-the-art gymnasium complete the facilities. ... more   less
