2022 Award Winners ‘MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE’ AWARD 2022

The Merrion Hotel, Dublin

What makes a great hospitality experience? Ireland is blessed with a generous sprinkling of those uniquely satisfying places where beautiful and enriching surroundings combine with an owner who is exceptionally gifted in hospitality and conveys that gift to everyone and everything associated with the business.  

Memorable experiences come in many forms but the consistent excellence of this beautiful hotel never fails to delight. Attention to detail in every area – whether it be the luxurious rooms, the exquisitely entertaining ‘Art Tea’, delicious dining in The Garden Room, the wonderfully relaxing Merrion Spa and Health Club, or simply the soothing ambience of The Drawing Room for an informal meeting with friends or colleagues – marks The Merrion out as a place equally appealing to discerning international travellers, business guests and locals marking a special occasion. As well as The Garden Room, a lovely restaurant and terrace overlooking the hotel’s formal gardens, Dublin’s longest-established and most famous fine dining destination, Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud, is an on-site treasure, while the atmospheric vaulted Cellar Bar offers an exceptional range of drinks. In a world of identikit hotels with bland service, The Merrion always feels incredibly special.
