Travel to Dublin and stay at the O'Callaghan Davenport Hotel

The O'Callaghan Davenport Hotel Dublin originally opened its doors in 1863 as a spectacular new gospel house. Designed in the neo classical style the original façade continues to grace the corner of Merrion Square as the O'Callaghan Davenport Hotel.The closely located Merrion Square provides fitting surroundings for this beautiful facade which has featured in many books and films. Some of Dublin's most impressive and ornate Georgian facades are neighbours to the hotel. The square is especially charming on weekends when street artists sell their paintings at the gates to the park.

Within minutes walk of this Dublin hotel visitors will discover other national treasures such as Trinity College home to the longest single chamber library in the world and the National Art Gallery home to internationally and locally acclaimed artists. Venture further afield and you will discover the bustle of Dublin's main shopping street Grafton Street... the market sellers on Moore Street... historic O'Connell Street and the lively cobbled streets of Temple Bar.

A trip to Dublin is not complete without a visit to the counties north and south of the capital. Travel north and you will find the mythical site of Newgrange. Travel south and you will find the picturesque countryside villages of Co. Wicklow known as the Garden of Ireland. Dublin's coastal route is not to be forgotten. Even on a tight schedule a visitor can fit in a transfer to the airport travelling through the northern seaside villages of Clontarf, Portmarnock and Howth. Take the DART train from the closely located Pearse Street station and travel south through Sandymount and Dun Laoghaire.
