The 52 bedroom hotel has opened in Dublin, introducing a new concept in accommodation to Ireland. Fresh, vibrant, youthful and creative, The Dean is a reflection of Dublin now – a dynamic, contemporary European capital.
Located at 33 Harcourt Street, smack bang in the heart of the city, the hotel is a luxury residence that sets the scene with strong contemporary design and a great soundtrack and finishes with warm, friendly service and a great sense of humour.
Bed options include smaller rooms for getting the head down – Mod Pods and Punk Bunks, as well as bigger spaces – double or twin SupeRooms and dual aspect Hi-Fi’s, for guests who like quality room time. The hotel also houses two luxury suites – The Devlin and The James – with great separate living rooms and a pretty cool two bedroom Penthouse with a huge living space, The Loft.
Rooms are filled with fun: Rega turntables, vinyl and books from Tower Records Dublin, Marshall amps, Nespresso machines, SMEG fridges loaded with liquor, Irish munchie trays piled high with local goodies and plenty more to amuse. Light’n’soft duvets, fluffy pillows, rainforest showers, Grafton Barber bathroom products, Smart TVs, Netflix, wi-fi, air conditioning – leaving the room to explore Dublin will be difficult. The Penthouse Loft comes with a 65” 4K Samsung Curved TV, gas fire, sound system, private kitchen, cocktail bar, Ploum sofas, poker table, fouzz ball table, books, LPs and tons of other stuff.
An investment of quarter of a million euros was made in commissions and acquisitions of artworks from new emerging Irish artists, from fine art to typography, street art to photography. Guests can purchase prints of a number of works at hotel reception, as well as other eclectic products on display from cult Irish store Indigo and Cloth.
The Dean Bar
On the ground floor, The Dean Bar is open from 7am for Clement and Pekoe coffees and teas, juices and fresh pastries. Take out or pull up a seat. Hot desk for the day without being bothered. Meet friends and colleagues, relax or work. Rotisserie rolls in from midday every day, with a fresh salad bar to tuck into and slow roasted sirloin beef, chicken and many other dishes to choose from until 10pm at night. Take a load off and our servers will take your order. Catch beers and cocktails throughout the day and a laid back DJ soundtrack at weekends.
Head up to the Rooftop Terrace any day from 7am for refreshments. Soak up the rays or avoid a soaking under the oversized umbrellas. Heaters in the winter. Sun loungers in the summer. A BBQ pit waiting to be lit. No reservations, just rock up, grab a spot and relax.
Sophie’s Restaurant and Bar
Sophie’s Restaurant and Bar takes pride of place on the roof, an unmatched panoramic view of Dublin city and county. Meet for breakfast here any day of the week from 7am (8am at weekends) and join hotel guests up in the clouds, tucking into huge American breakfasts. Saturday’s and Sunday’s tuck into brunch from 11am until 4pm and feel free to book for any number of guests. Come back at 5pm when Sophie’s kicks into dinner. Delve into the Italian – New York – Irish menu from Head Chef Darren Matthews.
The Blue Room on the first floor is a space that lends itself equally well to formal meetings and great parties. An edgy and elegant room that can be split in two, it comes with full spec AV, mobile bar, a variety of menus and its own dedicated kitchen and service team.
The Dean. Hotel Dublin. All fun, no fuss.
