CENTRAL HOTEL, Dublin

Central Hotel - Historic Dublin Hotel with Library Bar and Temple Bar Quarter Location

Located in Dublin's Creative Quarter off Grafton Street, this 3-star Dublin hotel occupies a four-story red brick heritage building from 1887. The Central Hotel features the Library Bar, a local landmark adorned with dark wooden floors, chandeliers, stuffed armchairs, and glass bookcases. Guest rooms include laptop-friendly workspaces, free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, coffee makers, and en-suite shower rooms. The property houses two distinct venues: the traditional Exchequer Bar with live music and the more refined Library Bar, serving lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Dark-wood-paneled walls, chandeliers, and oil paintings define the lobby area. The hotel stands 1640.4 ft from Temple Bar district's nightclubs and pubs.
