Besides the fact that this is in a beautiful part of the city, the Shelbourne had possibly the nicest and most helpful staff I have ever encountered. From the front desk clerk to the bar tenders, everyone was nice, helpful and genuinely interested in us. The rooms were standard. The restaurant was very good for breakfast. The most helpful employees... More

The Shelbourne is better than ever! Just stayed there for one night and the service was fantastic. Rooms are clean and bright and the bar is the place to be on St. Stephen's Green. A great experience with great staff and facilities. Highly recommended.

Such a nice hotel. Everything is pristine and no details forgotten. My room was so small, but it was just laid out so well that I didn't feel cramped. It was just me - if I had my husband with me, that would have been a different story. Rooms are well appointed with all amenities. Staff is professional and gracious.... More

It's still the place to stay in Dublin and I think it's now better than ever. Rooms well furnished with top of range furnishings and amenities. Service from check in to check out flawless food and drink a very high quality. I have to say this hotel is more like the Autograph collection Marriott has been spinning off. This place... More

Quick review. Great location to explore Dublin, great service. Prices are accordingly. Great beds, linens, amenities, pillows, shower. Internet omni-present and fast. Some minor wear and tear on the carpet etc. in the public areas. Very enjoyable, but I am not giving it a 5 dot, because there just was not the wow factor feeling.

Wow, what a property! We stayed at the Shelbourne using our points in May 2012 and loved it. I'm a Platinum @ the Marriott and they valued Platinum's really nicely - the room was good, breakfast was top notch and so was the service. The location is something you can't beat - right across is St. Stephens is right across... More

Dublin is a great city and this is an outstanding hotel conveniently located with beautiful rooms - well deserving of it's 5 star rating. From the moment we were greated at the door to the moment we left, we had superb service in a beautiful location. The staff couldn't not have been more helpful. Press the "At your service" button...

5 star quality all round. Service was amazing and the rooms were lovely. Best hotel breakfast I've ever had. Gym was great too. Very nice turn down service too. Can't fault it! Great Guinness too! Staff were very willing to help with everything

First off, this may be a 5 star hotel, but that doesn't extend itself to the standard rooms. Despite that fact, it is still a great hotel nonetheless. The hotel has a rich and amazing history (the Irish constitution was drafted here in 1922) and also hosted some very famous guests over the years. A small room just off reception... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The world famous Shelbourne Hotel is a timeless landmark in the heart of Dublin. Located only 9km from Dublin Airport, The Shelbourne overlooks the magnificent St. Stephen’s Green, and is just seconds from the city’s sights and shops, commerce and culture. But the connection to Ireland’s capital runs far deeper than location. Founded in 1824, The Shelbourne, a Renaissance Hotel is a place where history has been made – the Irish Constitution was drafted, literary masterpieces were penned and society was shaped. Today, as part of the worldwide Renaissance brand, the hotel has been dramatically restored to its full original splendour. Each of the 265 bedrooms are unique, but they all share a sense of charm, style and above all quality…100% Egyptian cotton bedding by Rivolta Carmignani, elegant marble bathrooms with luxury amenities, flat-screen televisions, high speed internet access and climate control. The Shelbourne has 19 beautifully appointed suites, 12 of which are named after famous guests who have stayed at the hotel, such as Princess Grace, John F. Kennedy and Michael Collins and Eamonn De Valera. At the very heart of Dublin’s very best times for almost 200 years, The Shelbourne continues to be the city’s favourite hotel for fine food and drinks in an incomparable environment for generations of Dubliners. The Shelbourne offers a superb choice of dining venues; The Saddle Room, a modern steak and seafood restaurant, The Lord Mayor’s Lounge which serves Dublin’s only true afternoon tea, the renowned Horseshoe Bar and No. 27 Bar & Lounge, the place to see and be seen in Dublin! The hotel features a luxurious Spa offering six treatment rooms, including a suite for two people to share their spa experience together, a manicure and pedicure area as well as an opulent relaxation room. A 17.5m swimming pool, thermal facilities, dance studio and state-of-the-art gymnasium complete the facilities. ... more   less
