Clontarf Castle Hotel

Following a €10m development, Dublin's Clontarf Castle now mixes turrets, tapestries and an ancient history with superb 21st-century style and facilities, including an award-winning bar.

In Dublin's leafy north-side suburbs, easily accessed from the M50 and M1, Clontarf Castle Hotel is 10 minutes from the city centre and only 1.5 miles from the O2 Arena. A bus stop is right outside. You can walk to Killester Train Station in 10 minutes.

Clontarf Castle's Fahrenheit Grill restaurant is known as one of the finest in Dublin.

The chic Indigo Lounge, with huge sofas, red chandeliers and stylish glass wear, was 'Hotel Bar of the Year' at the Licensing World Bar Awards (2008).

The more traditional Knight's Bar has a beautiful ceiling, huge open fireplaces and stained-glass windows.

The private grounds ensure a peaceful night's sleep. An excellent standard of service means your day will be just as relaxed.

If you need any extras, such as flowers, fruit, champagne in your room on arrival, or a gourmet dinner in the restaurant, please inform the hotel.

Soon to appear in rooms are: a CISCO IP telephone system with direct-dial access, and interactive satellite TV with movies, a music library and internet access.

Clontarf Castle Hotel is located two miles from the hub of the city and just five miles from Dublin Airport.
