Hotels on Dublin's North Side
Dublin is renowned in song and story. The city gave birth to many literary greats Jonathan Swift, Oliver Goldsmith, Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, Brendan Behan, Roddy Doyle and many more. Dublin is known for great singers from Ronny Drew to the late Luke Kelly. Dubliners are proud of their great literary and cultural history. From O'Connell Street, Dublin's main street, to the Phoenix Park and Croke Park, the North side of the Liffey holds many tourist attractions.
The Dublin Spire was erected in O Connell Street to celebrate the millenium. It is now a landmark and admired throughout the world for its artistic value. The Royal Dublin Hotel provides excellent accommodation at an affordable price, in view of the Spire and minutes away from the Hugh Lane Gallery.
The streets off O'Connell Street are the best place for cheap shopping in Dublin. Bargain hunters and those less concerned with brand labels should start here. Likewise, there is a good range of budget accommodation and hotels in this area, from the Abbey Hotel to Brown's Hotel on Gardiner Street.
No visit to Dublin's northside would be complete without a trip to Croke Park and the GAA sports museum, The guest should try to fit in a GAA football or hurling match into their itinerary. All the county colours waving and the good natured chanting and banter are not to be missed. If you're looking for somewhere out of the bustle, yet still within easy distance of the city, consider staying beside the Phoenix Park, either at the Ashling Hotel or Chief O'Neills in Smithfield.
