Frommer's Review

With a fanciful Victorian facade of turrets, towers, and battlements, this restored 1741 gem is an ideal choice for those who have always wanted to live in a castle. A 15-minute drive from the center of the city, it is between the villages of Dalkey and Killiney, amid hilltop grounds with clear views of Dublin Bay. It's a marvelous, rambling old building, with a wandering lobby that seems to go on forever, filled with comfortable sofas, a piano, and working fireplaces. There's an excellent bar, with leather chairs to sink into, and two good restaurants -- P.J.'s for upscale dining, and downstairs, the casual and very good Dungeon Restaurant, for less formal meals. The color of the building changes yearly -- one year it's blue, the next it's pink. Book online if possible, as good deals are often available. If you prefer privacy, ask about their guesthouses.

Facilities:
2 restaurants (Continental, grill); bar; indoor swimming pool; guest privileges at nearby 18-hole golf course; gym; saunas; concierge; salon; room service; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms

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.
