Clontarf Castle Hotel

Tucked away in quiet, suburban Dublin, Clontarf Castle Hotel, with its magnificent entrance hall, hanging tapestries, mysterious doorways and roaring fires, is located 3km from Dublin city centre and just 8 km from Dublin airport. Guests can dine at the on-site bistro, which serves modern dishes and fine wines in a Midiaeval atmosphere complete with chandeliers and traditional pewter goblets. The casual, contemporary pub is the sort of place a dashing young knight might be found practicing the finer points of chivalry while downing a pint of stout; the bar is more refined, a place for the graduated knight. Conference rooms cater for meetings of up to 500 people and come equipped with the latest audio-visual equipment. The concierge can assist with booking tours and restaurants and can also advise on the area's best attractions. Other practical amenities include complimentary parking and a currency exchange service. The 111 guestrooms are decorated in rich greens and oranges with dark wood furnishings. Steeped in Irish history and dating back to 1172, the Clontarf Castle Hotel offers guests all the charm and splendour of a royal experience.
