Christmas at The Dean Hotels

Christmas at The Dean  

Anyone call for a December full of festive markets, long dinners and late ones? That's what we're good for. Book the room, reserve the table, pick up a gift card for someone who'd rather not get socks, and use our city guides to plan the rest.

Dublin Centre

Stay a few minutes from St Stephen's Green, the Grafton Street lights and more snugs than you'll manage in one visit. Book dinner at Sophie's on the roof, start the morning at Power if you're feeling virtuous, and finish the night in The Dean Bar.

Dublin Docklands

Stay by the Liffey this Christmas, a riverside walk or a short Luas ride from the city centre. Ryleigh's has steaks and city views on the roof, The Bottle Boy pours pints on a spot that's had a bar for over 150 years, and Sidekick handles the late ones.

Galway

Galway in December means lights over Shop Street, a Christmas market on Eyre Square and music in every second pub. We're five minutes from the lot. Eat on the roof at Sophie's, catch a session in Peig's Bar, and warm up in Power's hydrotherapy pool, sauna and steam room.
