A five-star hotel in three historic bank buildings opposite Trinity College, known until 2023 as The Westin. You are as central as it gets, a short walk from Temple Bar and Grafton Street.
Until October 2023 this was The Westin Dublin. It's now The College Green Hotel, part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, and still in the same Irish-owned group as The Morgan and Trinity City Hotel. It opened in 2001 inside three historic bank buildings on College Green, and the 1866 Banking Hall is now its events room. The centre of the hotel is the Atrium Lounge, five storeys high under a glass roof and known for its afternoon tea. The Mint Bar is in the old bank vaults, with live music on Friday and Saturday evenings. The suites are themed around Irish writers and local history.
