The Arlington Hotel, O’Connell Bridge, provides:

·       Close proximity to the heart of Dublin’s infamous nightlife- from pints of Guinness in Temple Bar, to dancing the night away on Fade Street, the Arlington Hotel is ideal for cosying up post-concert, or for keeping the party going and sampling what Irish people call, “the craic.”
