Visitors want to stay here for the same reason Dubliners want to live here: quality of life. It’s the most prestigious part of town, known for its embassies, tree-lined streets, and historic buildings. If you’re coming to Dublin specifically for
a conference at the RDS show grounds or a match at the Lansdowne RugbyGround, this neighborhood will put you right in the thick of things. The down-side is that it’s a good 20- to 30-minute walk to get into the city’s best sightseeing and shopping areas.
