The Shelbourne

Celebrating 200 years of history and tradition The Shelbourne is a timeless landmark in the heart of Dublin. It is one of the largest five star hotels in Ireland overlooking the city’s grandest square, St. Stephen’s Green, which is located within a few minutes’ walk from Dublin’s most famous landmarks as well as the key shopping and cultural areas of the city. For nearly two centuries, the hotel has played a significant role in the literary, social, political, culinary and artistic traditions of Irish society. In 1922 the Irish constitution was drafted here, chaired by Michael Collins, and one of the two original copies are to be found in the hotel's museum. All of The Shelbourne's 265 bedrooms and 20 suites, have been elegantly refurbished to ensure the wonderful heritage and tradition of the hotel has been retained, with design and décor influenced and inspired by the classic grandeur of the historic elements of this famous hotel. The Saddle Room Restaurant is an old favourite serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Offering a contemporary menu using only the finest local and artisan ingredients, it also features an Oyster Bar, serving the freshest oysters available from West Clare, Carlingford and Galway. No.27 The Shelbourne Bar offers a relaxed and inviting ambience alongside an informal menu containing classic bar food favourites, complimented by a unique selection of world wines by the glass, premium spirits and their famous signature cocktails.

Relax with the gentle music of the lounge's resident pianist, amongst the shimmering Waterford Crystal chandelier lighting. As distinctive as it is revered in Dublin culture, The Horseshoe Bar has seen it all down through the years.
