A closer look

A place with character.

Clontarf Castle is the city option that still looks like a castle in photographs. Parts of it date to 1172, the interiors are theatrical, and there are 111 beds so nobody is hunting for a taxi at two in the morning.

It is a working hotel rather than an exclusive use property, so there can be other events in the building. For a small wedding that needs to be easy for guests flying in, that trade off is usually worth it.

Before you book

Worth asking.

  1. Which room would a wedding of your size use, and what else is on that day?
  2. What are the bedroom rates, and how long is the block held?
  3. Can the ceremony happen on site, and in which room?
