Hotels on Dublin's South Side
The South side of Dublin's River Liffey contains many of the city's major visitor attractions, all within a walkable area. This is a delight for our visitors who come from all over the world to enjoy this vibrant and cosmopolitan city. Walking around Dublin on a warm summer’s day is amazing. As the old song says “Dublin can be heaven with coffee at 11 and a stroll round Stephens Green”.
From the splendour of Trinity College the oldest University in Ireland with its beautiful old buildings and the old library and the book of Kells and the Bank of Ireland (formerly the House of Parliament) to Dublin's two cathedrals, Christ Church and St Patrick’s the area is steeped in history and interest. To get a sense of being part of this history, try staying at the Central Hotel or the Buswells Hotel, two of Dublin's oldest hotels.
Further out are the business districts of Dublin 2 & 4 and the leafy suburban area of Rathmines in Dublin 6. Rathmines is also home to the student accommodation of Trinity College, Trinity hall. This keeps Rathmines buzzing all year including summer with a lively student population. The business area of Grand Canal Dock and the Dublin 2 area are well catered for by the The Grand Canal Hotel. Rathmines offers real value in two excellent hotels: The Rathmines Travelodge and The Days Hotel Rathmines.
The Grand Canal Hotel is convenient to Lansdowne Road football ground, as is the Schoolhouse Hotel. Sports fans, concert goers and groups working off a lower budget may want to try the historic hotel The Ferryman Hotel on Sir John Rogersons Quay, close not only to the rugby ground but to Shelbourne Park Greyhound Stadium and the Point Theatre as well.
