Inn Butlers Townhouse

A swank Victorian boutique hotel in the chic, quiet neighborhood of Ballsbridge, Dublin

The 20 bedrooms of this intimate luxury boutique hotel were meticulously restored in 1995 in the Victorian style favored a century ago by the Butler family, a prominent family in Ireland for more than 800 years.

The beds are cloaked in Egyptian cotton, some shaded by a curtained canopy, and there is afternoon tea served in the parlor upon request. A full gourmet Irish breakfast is included in the rates, and room serive is avaiabel 24 hours a day (unusual in a hotel so small).

There's free WiFi and free parking available, and it lies just a block away from Aviva stadium and the local DART station (two stops to get to Pearse Street at Trinity College).

If this sedate and stately neighborhood of Dublin appeals but the inn happens to be full, try Ariel House just across the street.
