Hotel Review
Hotel Review: Dylan, Dublin
A stylish five-star hotel in an old Victorian building in the fashionable Dublin 4 area, within walking distance of St Stephen's Green and the city centre. Rooms in the old part have original features such as plasterwork, sash windows and high ceilings, and there is a more modern wing to the rear. Service and food is top-notch and there is a great cocktail menu.

OUR REVIEW
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
The Dylan is on a lovely tree-lined road just off Baggot Street in the south city, around 15 minutes' walk to St Stephen's Green and 30 minutes' walk to the city centre. It is very convenient for the Aviva Stadium for rugby matches and concerts, and to the RDS Ballsbridge for other events.
By plane: direct flights to Dublin from Manchester and Birmingham (1 hour), and London (1 hour 15 minutes). It's a 25-minute drive to the hotel. On-site parking (charges apply). Book flights to Dublin.
THE LOOK AND FEEL
The building dates back to Victorian times when it was a nurses' home for a nearby hospital, and there is a beautiful redbrick façade. The hotel feels luxurious and rooms in the old part of the building at the front have some original features. There are quirky and individual design elements throughout the communal spaces and in bedrooms - for example unusual furniture, light fittings, curtains, mirrors and headboards.
