Picolo recommends · Hotel in Dublin, Ireland
The Morgan
Behind the noise of Temple Bar lies a courtyard where you can take your drink outside and hear yourself think again.
Fleet Street runs through Temple Bar, Dublin's cobbled pub quarter on the south bank of the Liffey, and The Morgan stands right on it. Trinity College and the river are a couple of blocks away.
The interiors make their own rules, with velvet, mirrors and plenty of light. At the back, a bar opens onto a courtyard terrace, a sheltered spot when the lanes outside are at their loudest.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose The Morgan
The Morgan is for those who came to Dublin for the nights as much as the days. You are in the thick of Temple Bar, with a stylish room and a courtyard of your own to retreat to between rounds.
Temple Bar is loud, especially at weekends. Ask for a room facing the courtyard, and think twice if you sleep lightly or travel with children: a quieter district will serve you better.
