Dublin City Hall
The Georgian Rotunda on Dame Street, built as the Royal Exchange in 1769, for ceremonies in the middle of the city.
A closer look
A place with character.
City Hall is a ceremony venue with real grandeur: a domed rotunda ringed with columns, mosaic floors and a staircase that photographs itself. It sits at the top of Dame Street beside Dublin Castle, so the whole thing happens in the centre of town.
There is no accommodation and outside catering applies, so the pattern is ceremony here, then a restaurant or private room nearby for the meal. Guests can walk everywhere, which saves a fortune on transport.
Before you book
Worth asking.
- What hours are available, and how long do you get the Rotunda?
- What are the restrictions on decoration, music and confetti?
- Which nearby venues handle the meal afterwards?
