Location
On the north side of the River Liffey, near attractions, dining, and shopping
The Gresham has a central location on historic O’Connell Street, a short walk from major attractions on the south side of the River Liffey such as Temple Bar and Trinity College. The street is lined with handsome old buildings, such as the 19th-century General Post Office. Many bus lines run along this wide avenue, so access to other parts of the city is easy and fast, including the airport, to which guests can take the bus that stops right outside the hotel.
Once the main stage of Ireland’s political struggles, O’Connell Street is now Dublin’s main thoroughfare, home to hotels, a decent shopping scene, and casual restaurants. The main appeal of this area is the number of fantastic theaters in the neighborhood, including the Abbey Theatre and the Gate Theatre.
- 22-minute drive to the Dublin Airport
- 3-minute walk to the General Post Office and James Joyce Statue
- 5-minute walk to the Hugh Lane Gallery of Modern Art
- 6-minute walk to the Abbey Theatre (National Theatre of Ireland)
- 10-minute walk to Trinity College
- 10-minute walk to Temple Bar area
- 12-minute walk to Grafton Street
- 18-minute walk to St. Stephen’s Green, a wonderful and central park
- 20-minute walk to historic Merrion Square
- 21-minute walk or 8-minute drive to dining and drinking in the Docklands
- 24-minute walk or 7-minute drive to Dublin Castle
