The Morrison

This is really an oversize boutique hotel, with an ideal location just across the Liffey from Temple Bar. Fashion fans will have no trouble pegging the design as the work of designer 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. Some rooms are equipped with iMacs. The stylish atrium-style restaurant, Halo, is one of the most talked-about in town.
