ALBANY HOUSE, Dublin

Albany House occupies an 18th-century building that was once part of the Earl of Clonmel's estate. The hotel's individually styled rooms are decorated with antique furnishings and retain original high ceilings. Guests enter through a traditional Georgian façade on Harcourt Street, with a lift providing access to upper floors.

Each room at Albany House is furnished with antique pieces and offers en-suite bathrooms with either a bath or walk-in shower. The spacious rooms benefit from high ceilings and large windows, with some overlooking the quiet rear alley for reduced street noise. Twin, double, and family configurations are available, and rooms include a fan and tea/coffee making facilities.

A continental breakfast is served daily in the hotel's breakfast room, featuring fresh pastries, cheeses, cold meats, yogurt, fruit, and French press coffee. Gluten-free options are available upon request, and the breakfast staff provide personalized service. The breakfast is offered at a separate charge of €5 per person, with a generous variety replenished throughout the morning.

Albany House sits a 5-minute walk from St Stephen's Green and Grafton Street, Dublin's main shopping area. Dublin Castle, Trinity College with the Book of Kells, and the Temple Bar entertainment district are all within a 10- to 15-minute walk. The Luas green line tram stop is a 3-minute walk away, and the Dublin Express airport bus stops a 5-minute walk from the hotel.
