Rooms at Central

Central Hotel is a 3.5-star hotel with guestrooms that offer laptop-friendly workspaces, free Wi-Fi, and free bottled water.

Dining at Central

The Central Hotel offers two bars: the Library Bar and the Exchequer Bar. The Library Bar serves lunch and dinner, and brunch on weekends. The Exchequer Bar is a traditional Irish pub with live music, while the Library Bar on the first floor is known as a local landmark and gathering spot. The Library Bar is popular for morning business meetings, light lunches, dinner, drinks, and nightcaps.

Things to do

Central Hotel provides dry cleaning/laundry services. Guests are encouraged to visit Dublin Zoo and attend an event or game at Croke Park. Those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore St Stephen's Green. Dublin Port and the Guinness Storehouse are worth checking out.

Central's Location

Central Hotel is in City Centre Dublin, a neighborhood known for good shopping and is located in Temple Bar, a busy riverside neighborhood with cobbled pedestrian lanes. The Temple Bar district, with its many pubs, nightclubs, and restaurants, is 500 meters from the Central. Grafton Street, Dublin Castle, Trinity College, and Christ Church Cathedral are all a short walk from the hotel. Easily accessible is Dublin Airport via public transport. The hotel occupies a four-story red brick heritage building.

Hotel Services

The Central Hotel, built in 1887, is part of a larger development that includes George's Street Arcade, an indoor market. Onsite, find a bar and a restaurant. The lobby features dark-wood-paneled walls, chandeliers, oil paintings, and gilded mirrors and furniture along the hallways.

“Central Hotel, in my view, occupies a prime spot in Dublin's lively Temple Bar area, steps from Grafton Street and Dublin Castle. The hotel carries a historical charm, enhanced by its traditional Library Bar, a known meeting spot for locals. While some may find the interiors a bit dated, the location and value make it a worthwhile consideration for those eager to explore Dublin's cultural heart.”
