HOTEL OVERVIEW

AOL Travel Editor's Review

This rocking Dublin hotel is owned by Bono and The Edge, but you won’t find paparazzi-shrouded entrances, lines of limos or glimpses of the small dude with wraparound shades. What you will find, however, is a small unassuming 1930s building, its terrazzo floors and wood-panelled walls given a simple modern makeover and a quietly efficient staff that make it one of the top Dublin places to stay. The discreet atmosphere is more royal boating club than party pad and its 49 rooms are furnished with surprising simplicity—muted colors, crisp cotton linen and wax candles. For a proper taste of rock star decadence, you could splurge on the duplex penthouse where a midnight cocktail from the rooftop hot tub overlooking the city makes it worth every cent.
