The central location at Merrion Square provides guests with the perfect base to explore Dublin’s most famous landmarks and its hidden gems. Discover The Book of Kells, a 9th century masterpiece, as you walk through Trinity College, view Caravaggio’s The Taking of Christ at The National Gallery, wander through Grafton Street, a fashionista’s paradise, or simply step outside the hotel and on to Merrion Square to see the homes of literary and political giants, such as James Joyce, Daniel O’Connell and Samuel Beckett, and at the weekends observe the transformation from a quiet, leafy historical quarter to a bustling cultural hub as dozens of artists descend on the square to sell their original artwork.
The Alexander is well-serviced by a varied transport network; LUAS, rail, bus routes and rental bikes are all in close proximity, while taxis and coach lay-bys are located on the hotel’s doorstep. For ease of access to and from Dublin Airport, the air coach service is situated nearby.
