A 232-room four-star hotel directly across the road from Croke Park, the home of Gaelic games. On match and concert days there is nowhere better placed; on other days it is a short bus ride from town.
Part of the Doyle Collection (formerly Jurys Croke Park), it faces the 82,000-capacity stadium across Jones's Road. Expect a big atmosphere on match and concert days.
