Why we love it
The setting
The Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel sits on Killiney Hill in Dalkey, a quiet coastal town south of Dublin. It was built in 1741 and is surrounded by gardens overlooking the bay, with views out over Killiney Bay and the Irish Sea. The hotel is quietly placed away from the city centre, yet the centre can be reached in about 30 minutes on the DART train from Dalkey and Killiney.
What to expect
This offer covers a two-night stay in a Classic Double room of around 19 square metres, with a full-size double bed. Rooms are furnished in a period style with heavy drapes, and look out over the garden or the sea. The hotel has an indoor pool and a lounge area, plus a restaurant and a wood-panelled bar with armchairs and old prints. Free Wi-Fi and a private bathroom come as standard. Breakfast is not included in this rate but can be added at the time of booking.
Things to do nearby
The village of Dalkey, with its small pubs, cafes and the medieval Dalkey Castle, is just over the hill. Killiney seafront and Dun Laoghaire Harbour are also nearby, good for a stroll along the coast or a walk to the East Pier. Take the DART north and you reach central Dublin in about 30 minutes, where the Guinness Storehouse, St Stephen's Green and the National Gallery sit within a few kilometres of one another. Aviva Stadium is the closest of the big city draws at around 10 km away.
Best for
Ideal for couples who prefer sea air and a historic building over a city-centre hotel, while keeping Dublin within an easy train ride.
