Cathal Noonan
A small boutique hotel as we like them with only 21 rooms in the former home of the Irish architect Sam Stephenson who built many public buildings in Dublin in the 1960s and 1970s.

In the rooms, a very funky decoration with brightly colored velvet headboards that give it a little Hollywood touch.
The garden in the city center is a godsend from the first rays of sunshine.

: parking can be a bit tricky.
