A five-star hotel on two acres of gardens in leafy Ballsbridge, beside the RDS and walkable to the Aviva Stadium. Large rooms and a calmer pace than the city centre.
It opened in 2001 as the Four Seasons and became an InterContinental in 2015. It has more room to spread out than the city-centre five-stars, with large bedrooms and the biggest events space of any five-star hotel in Dublin.
