Centrally located near Trinity College, this elegant hotel combines historic bank buildings with modern amenities. Spacious rooms, excellent restaurant, and prime location make it ideal for exploring Dublin's attractions on foot.
The Westin Dublin occupies a landmark building on Westmoreland Street in Dublin 2, one of the city's most central thoroughfares, running directly from O'Connell Bridge to College Green and the entrance to Trinity College. The hotel is housed in a neoclassical structure that originally served as the Allied Irish Banks headquarters, built in 1863. The building's grand banking hall, with its ornate plasterwork and high ceilings, has been preserved and now serves as the hotel's main public spaces, lending an air of historic grandeur to a contemporary property.
Trinity College's front gates are visible from the hotel entrance, and College Green — with its proximity to the National Museum, National Gallery, and Dublin Castle — is within a five-minute walk. Grafton Street, Dublin's primary pedestrian shopping district, begins at the junction with College Green. The hotel's Westmoreland Street frontage places guests within easy reach of Temple Bar, the DART rail network at Tara Street station (three minutes on foot), and the main bus corridors along O'Connell Street.
The 163 guest rooms and suites are fitted with the Westin's signature Heavenly Bed, a layered mattress and bedding system for which the brand is widely recognised. Room categories include Deluxe City View and Premier rooms, with suites offering separate living areas and enhanced amenity packages. Business and executive travellers are well served by the business centre facilities and meeting spaces.
Dining centres on The Cite Restaurant and The Mint Bar. The Mint Bar occupies the original banking hall and delivers cocktails and bar food in surroundings of considerable architectural interest. The Cite Restaurant serves a broad menu across breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with Irish ingredients prominently featured.
Fitness facilities include a well-equipped gym available to all hotel guests. The hotel does not have an on-site pool or spa. A full-service concierge is available and can arrange transport, tickets to events and attractions, and guided tours throughout Dublin and further afield. The property suits business travellers, couples, and cultural visitors seeking central access to Dublin's historic core.
