KEY NEIGHBORHOODS
Docklands
THE VIBE
Straddling the River Liffey, Dublin’s Docklands has been intensely regenerated over the past two decades, and is now a vibrant hub for eating, drinking and culture, with restaurants and bars kept busy with local tech workers. Beckett Locke is a next-gen aparthotel that’s particularly suited to digital nomads or travelers who want to feel at home in the city, while Anantara The Marker is one of the most luxurious addresses in the city. Don’t miss EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, bringing to life the history of the Irish diaspora.
Where to stay
Temple Bar/Trinity
THE VIBE
Find heritage and hedonism in Temple Bar, which—despite an international reputation for drunken debauchery—remains a must-visit for culture lovers, with highlights including the Project Arts Centre, the 66-seater New Theatre, and the Irish Film Institute. Be sure to wander the elegant alleys off Grafton Street, and for shoppers, Powerscourt Townhouse Centre in a Georgian mansion is brimming with antique stores and independent boutiques. When the sun shines, hang out with the locals in St. Stephen’s Green.
Where to stay
Portobello
THE VIBE
For more of a live-like-a-local experience, stay in hip, happening Portobello, southwest of St. Stephen’s Green. You’ll not be short of cool brunch joints (try Goose on the Loose), yoga studios (Little Bird also has a great vegetarian café), and Michelin-recommended eateries like North Indian Pickle. You’re also a short stroll from the hit Teeling Distillery. Affordable boutique hotels in Georgian townhouses are the way to go; Harrington Hall is a great choice, backing onto beautiful Iveagh Gardens.
