The Shelbourne
The grand Dublin hotel on St Stephen's Green, standing since 1824, with private dining rooms for smaller weddings.
A closer look
A place with character.
The Shelbourne is the most famous address on this list, and for a small wedding the appeal is the private dining rooms rather than the ballrooms. The building, the doormen and the Green outside do the work that decoration would have to do elsewhere.
With 265 bedrooms, nobody is stuck for a bed, and everything in the city centre is a short walk. It is a working hotel, so your wedding is one of several things happening.
Before you book
Worth asking.
- Which private room fits your numbers, and what is the minimum spend?
- Can the ceremony be held in the hotel?
- What rate applies to your guests' rooms, and when does the block release?
