Bewleys Hotel Ballsbridge

This modern hotel is cleverly designed to incorporate a landmark period building next to the RDS (entrance by car is on Simmonscourt Road, via Merrion Road or Anglesea Road; underground carpark).

Bedrooms are spacious and well-equipped with ISDN lines, iron/trouser press, tea/coffee facilities and safe, making a good base for business or leisure visits.

Like its sister hotels at Newlands Cross, Leopardstown and Dublin Airport, you get a lot of comfort here at a very reasonable cost.

Although it changed ownership in 2008 (and is now part of the Moran Hotel Group) here has been no obvious change - except that Tom O'Connell's renowned restaurant, O'Connells in Ballsbridge, no longer operates here and the hotel restaurant is now called The Brasserie.

Conferences/Banqueting (250/180); business centre; free broadband. Rooms 304 (10 shower only, 64 family rooms, 254 no smoking, 12 for disabled, 50 ground floor). No pets; garden; parking.
