Dublin is one of our favourite cities for shopping and dining. The newest place to stay in town is the 44-room Dylan, located near St. Stephen's Green. The hotel is located in the building which housed the former Hibernian Hotel, and its been completely transformed into a chic boutique hotel. Staff uniforms are designed by Dublin designer Leigh Tucker, and no two guestrooms are alike. What the rooms do have in common is custom made furniture by Harrison and Gil and accent pieces such as vintage silver and crystal, Belleek pottery, and black and white photography by Philip Pankov. Beds have memory foam mattresses, Frette sheets and guests can choose their pillow from a menu. Other amenities include plasma screen TVs, iPods, complimentary wireless Internet, spacious showers, lavender-scented linen spray and bath products custom made by Etro. The Dylan has two restaurants, Still and Dylanbar. Executive Chef Padraic Hayden (formerly Head Chef of One Pico) has created a contemporary Irish menu. Room rates start at €395.
