Mont Clare Hotel

A few doors away from the National Gallery, this well-located and relatively well-priced hotel is in common ownership with the nearby Davenport and Alexander Hotels, and is a popular choice for business guests.

The hotel is imaginatively decorated in contemporary style - except for the old stained glass and mahogany Gallery Bar, which has retained its original pubby atmosphere.

Compact bedrooms are comfortable and have been recently refurbished - and executive rooms for business guests have full marbled bathrooms and good amenities, including air conditioning, three direct line phones, a personal safe, broadband and multi-channel TV with DVD.

Conference/banqueting (200); business centre; use of gym (at Davenport Hotel). Rooms 74 (40 no-smoking); children welcome (Under 2s free in parents' room; cots available free of charge). No pets. Lift. Parking. Room rate from €175. Closed 23-28 Dec. Amex, Diners, MasterCard, Visa, Laser.

Directions:

Corner of Clare Street, just off Merrion Square.
