Anantara The Marker Dublin Hotel

$$$$ | Grand Canal Sq., Dublin, Ireland Fodor's Choice

With an architecturally stunning checkerboard exterior, the Marker welcomes guests to its dockside location with an understated luxury that also strives to create a genuine connection to Dublin’s history and Irish culture. Guest rooms are spacious and elegant, with furniture and artwork from local makers and a bold color scheme meant to evoke the Irish countryside (the purple carpets stand in for fields of Irish heather). The onsite dining and drinking options are nothing short of spectacular: the downstairs Marker Bar serves cocktails and food in a buzzy atmosphere while the main restaurant Forbes Street By Gareth Mullins brings approachable fine dining to the neighborhood, serving Irish beef, fish, and produce alongside a strong wine menu. Upstairs, the hip Rooftop Bar & Terrace competes with the Guinness Storehouse for the best 360-degree views of Dublin. For anyone looking for relaxation, there’s a gorgeous indoor infinity pool as well as a full spa with a variety of holistic treatment options. To further your love affair with Ireland, several special programs are offered for guests, from Irish coffee making lessons to neighborhood walking tours.
