The College Green Dublin Hotel, Autograph Collection

The College Green Dublin Hotel, Autograph Collection (previously The Westin Dublin) has a beautiful location overlooking Trinity College, under a 10-minute walk to the gay bars in Temple Bar. Rooms are decorated in a classic style, with luxe materials and high-quality furnishings. The Heritage Rooms, with their large windows and decorative touches inspired by Irish nature, are especially attractive, while the luxury suites go all-out with the old-school elegance - think patterned wallpaper, towering headboards, and vintage furnishings. The Presdiential Suite even has direct views of Trinity College (as well a private steam room, marble bathroom, and balcony). Facilities include a well-equipped gym, an upscale steakhouse, and a lovely atrium serving lunch and afternoon tea.
