2021 Award Winners BUSINESS HOTEL OF THE YEAR 2021

InterContinental Dublin Ballsbridge Dublin

Spacious, airy surroundings that make both guests and staff feel at ease have been a key demand at hotels in recent times and – set on a magnificent site, in its own gardens on a section of the Royal Dublin Society's 42-acre show grounds - the InterContinental Dublin ticks all the boxes. The scale is exceptionally generous throughout and, while convenient to the city centre, many of the sumptuous suites and guest rooms have views of the Wicklow Mountains or Dublin Bay and there is plenty of easy parking, all of which helps to create a sense of relaxed confidence. Styled ‘Urban Resort’, it’s Dublin’s only purpose-built five-star hotel and the impressive on-site amenities include a beautiful spa. It’s always been a popular meeting place and dining destination for discerning Dubliners, and also one of Ireland’s top business and event venues, catering with style for anything from ten to 600 guests. Having held our Awards here on several occasions prior to the pandemic, we can vouch for the good food, professionalism and all round excellence of this well managed venue – which is sure to become an international destination of choice again, once business tourism resumes.
