The Merrion
Dublin, Ireland
Drinking in the oldest pub in town? Very cool. Sleeping in the oldest bed? Not so much. When it comes to accomodations in Ireland's capitol, you'd be hard pressed to do better than The Merrion. This luxury hotel is built from four restored Georgian townhouses, for a total of 123 guest rooms and 19 suites. Irish fabrics and antiques can be found in the rooms, which are joined on-site by the full-service Tethra spa, an indoor pool, two bars — including The Cellar Bar, which is set in the original 18th Century wine vaults — and two restuarants, one of which has earned two Michelin stars.
