I travel around Ireland a lot with my work and get to stay in some pretty lavish hotels. Recently I spent a couple of nights at the Radisson Blu St. Helen in Dublin and it was rather lovely. Housed in a mid 1700s estate and now an Irish National Monument, the lengthy driveway and striking décor is divine.
We had a beautiful balcony and most of the rooms feature expansive views of the estate garden. The hotel is close to University College Dublin, roughly ten minutes from town and twenty minutes from the airport.
The hotel’s award winning restaurant Talavera offers Italian cuisine and the Orangerie Bar & Ballroom Lounge provides a room with a view whilst sipping on cocktails or coffee.
If you’re looking to relax and unwind there’s the Chez Elle Beauty Salon who offer lots of terrific treatments and there’s a fitness suite, which features cardio machines and weights if you want to workout.
