Frommer's Review

This is really an oversize boutique hotel, with an ideal location just across the Liffey from Temple Bar. Fashion fans will surely have no trouble pegging the design as the work of design star John Rocha, who is responsible for everything from the crushed velvet bed throws in blood red, to the Waterford crystal vases. Rocha uses a palette of neutral colors -- cream, chocolate, and black -- to achieve a kind of warm minimalism in the guest rooms, which have stereos, Egyptian-cotton linens, and cool Portuguese limestone in the bathrooms. The stylish atrium-style restaurant, Halo, is one of the most talked-about in town. A recent expansion has added a new wing of 48 bedrooms, significantly increasing The Morrison's capacity.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 bars; concierge; room service; babysitting; dry cleaning; video/CD library

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
