The Gresham Hotel

The Gresham Hotel in Dublin has been a landmark in the city since 1817 when Thomas Gresham bought the street. The hotel, situated at 23 Upper O’Connell Street, Dublin, is the Flagship of the Gresham Chain, which includes properties in Dun Loughaire, Cork and Amsterdam. You can reach the hotel from the airport by catching the ‘imaginatively’ named 747 Airport Bus straight into the city, and the first bus stop is right outside the Gresham, this bus costs 5-6 Euro. Alternatively a taxi into the centre of town will cost around 25 Euro. I was in the fortunate position of being able to stay in the Gresham for two nights as part of my last EVER ...  Read the complete review

I was lucky enough to win a flights to Lodnon and accomodation in a hotel for myself and my boyfriend this week from RoadRunner Records. We stayed in the 4-star Gresham Hyde Park on Lancaster Gate.

Having stayed at a number of Dublin hotels and often passing by the impressive looking Gresham hotel I was eagerly anticipating my stay there. The hotel is in a very central location at the top of O'Connell Street so it is perfect for day-time persuits of shopping/sightseeing etc. However one drawback about the location is that at night-time O'Connell street is not always the most peaceful location and can tend to be rather noisy and rowdy. The hotel entrance and lobby are impressive. After a quick check-in which was ok we headed up to the room...and entered a sauna!!! The heat was incredible so I quickly tried to adjust the airconditioning which was ...  Read the complete review
