Ladies and gents, hold onto your Guinness glasses – Conrad Dublin has officially been bestowed the prestigious honor of a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Recommended award for 2025. That’s right, folks: it’s no longer just a “fancy hotel” in the heart of Dublin. It’s now officially fancy enough to warrant a Forbes star – which, in the hotel world, is basically the equivalent of being knighted, but with more champagne.
Tucked away on Earlsfort Terrace, the property has long been a place for guests to indulge in a memorable experience. But now, with this new recognition, you can rest assured that not only are you being treated to the finest Irish hospitality, you’re also in a place that’s officially luxe enough for Forbes to say, “Yep, this is worth a visit (or ten).” It’s not just about staying in a luxurious room anymore; it’s about living the dream – where plush linens meet elegant decor, and every dish at The Coburg feels like it was plated with the hopes and dreams of Irish farmers.
If you’ve ever daydreamed about savoring exquisite dishes crafted from the finest Irish produce while sipping on something spectacular in an ambiance that screams “luxury,” well, The Coburg has your name on it. And let’s not forget about Lemuel’s Bar, where the drinks aren’t just drinks – they’re liquid masterpieces served with a side of ‘don’t mind if I do’. But don’t worry, they’ve got you covered with an all-day dining menu as well, so you can start your morning with a bit of class, and end it with something that perfectly pairs with your favorite cocktail.
Of course, the cherry on top of this luxury sundae is their commitment to sustainability. Yes, you can now feel good about indulging in your four-star-worthy stay, knowing that the property is not just preserving its heritage but also the planet. Whether it’s eco-friendly practices or engaging with the local community, Conrad Dublin is making sure you can pamper yourself with a clear conscience. Now that’s what we call “green luxury.”
General Manager Lynn McLaughlin couldn’t contain her excitement, commenting on the Forbes recognition, and let’s be honest, who can blame her? This award isn’t just a win for the property; it’s a win for every staff member who’s been meticulously crafting an unforgettable experience since the hotel’s inception. Lynn promises more world-class experiences ahead, and we’re eagerly awaiting the next round of five-star service.
In case you missed it, Amanda Frasier, President of Standards & Ratings for Forbes Travel Guide, even went on to describe this year’s awardees as exemplifying “excellence in hospitality.” And she’s absolutely right. This isn’t just a hotel. It’s the bar that now sets the standard for the entire city of Dublin. So, if you’re planning to visit, remember: Conrad Dublin isn’t just an option. It’s the option for discerning travelers who want a bit of glamour with their Guinness.
The verdict? If you’re ever in Dublin and fancy the idea of luxury with a side of Irish charm (and Forbes’ stamp of approval), Conrad Dublin is your one-stop shop for indulgence. Book now and embrace your inner royalty – after all, you’re staying at a four-star property, and the world is your oyster (or in this case, your perfectly crafted cocktail). Cheers to that!
