Fabulous new accommodation on the island of Ireland

Luxury stays in the heart of the city

1) The Leinster

In the heart of Georgian Dublin, The Leinster is a luxurious hideaway that combines classic beauty with Parisien boutique chic to create comfort with a sense of fun. The rooftop restaurant, under the direction of acclaimed chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, offers fabulous food coupled with sensational views of the city and Dublin mountains.

2) Ruby Molly

Ruby Molly, located near Dublin's lively Temple Bar district, is a mix of nineteenth-century charm and cosmopolitan vibes drawing on the marketplace history of the area. The hotel operates the Lean Luxury model of the Ruby chain offering affordable yet indulgent experiences.

3) VOCO

Belfast’s newest riverside hotel is VOCO, part of the iNUA hotel collection, located in the city’s historic Gasworks site. With modern, elegant décor, an Italian-themed restaurant overlooking an outdoor terrace and close to the city centre and riverside walks, it’s the ideal base for discovering all that Belfast has to offer.    

4) The Foundry

Built on the site of the original Harp Bar – one of Belfast’s most famous music venues –, The Foundry Belfast is a new boutique hotel in the buzzing Cathedral Quarter.  The Harp Bar was a melting pot of sounds and launched a number of iconic bands in the 1970s including the Outcasts, Rudi, Stiff Little Fingers and the Defects. It’s part of Belfast’s musical history and the beating music culture that secured it the title of UNESCO City of Music. 

5) Radisson RED Galway

And later this year Radisson RED Galway will open its doors just a five-minute drive from the historic and lively Galway city. The bold new hotel will feature 177 rooms, each reflecting Radisson RED’s sophisticated signature style and design which incorporates art, music and fashion.
