The Westbury Hotel

White marble runs through the bathrooms here, heated underfoot, and original paintings by Sir John Lavery and Louis le Brocquy hang along the corridors and stairs. The central staircase is the hotel's signature arrival, climbing from the lobby into a gallery hung with the property's own art collection. Balfe Street sits just off Grafton Street, and Dublin Castle, Temple Bar and the Gaiety Theatre are all a five-minute walk away, though the entrance itself stays tucked off the main pedestrian flow. Rooms start at 25 m², rising through interconnecting Signature and Studio suites to the 75 m² Two-Bedroom Signature Suite, each with a 55-inch television, Nespresso machine and Frederic Malle bathroom amenities. Four-poster beds and roll-top baths appear in the larger suites; smaller rooms keep to marble bathrooms and a dedicated desk. WILDE serves the hotel's restaurant menu, Balfes runs as an all-day bar and brasserie, and The Sidecar pours cocktails in a room styled on a 1930s bar. It is a compact stay by Dublin standards, occupying a single landmark building rather than a sprawling footprint. Check-in runs from 3pm, check-out at noon. The airport lies roughly 35 minutes away by car, and Connolly Station is a 15-minute drive, which keeps the hotel oriented squarely toward the city rather than its edges.
