The most historically significant hotel in Ireland: the Irish Constitution was drafted in Room 112 in 1922. The Horseshoe Bar is a Dublin institution; No. 27 The Green restaurant is excellent; afternoon tea in the Lord Mayor's Lounge is a city ritual.
Why We Chose It
The Shelbourne has presided over St. Stephen's Green since 1824 and witnessed the moments of modern Irish history — the Irish Constitution was drafted in Room 112 in 1922. The Horseshoe Bar (standing room only at 6pm on a Friday) is one of the great bars in Ireland; No. 27 The Green restaurant serves modern Irish cuisine with genuine skill. The Lord Mayor's Lounge afternoon tea is a beloved Dublin ritual.
