Location

On the north side of the River Liffey, near attractions, dining, and shopping

The Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin has a central location on historic O’Connell Street, a short walk from major attractions on the south side of the River Liffey such as Temple Bar and Trinity College. The street is lined with handsome old buildings, such as the 19th-century General Post Office. Many bus lines run along this wide avenue, so access to other parts of the city is easy and fast, including the airport, to which guests can take the bus that stops right outside the hotel.Once the main stage of Ireland’s political struggles, O’Connell Street is now Dublin’s main thoroughfare, home to hotels, a decent shopping scene, and casual restaurants. The main appeal of this area is the number of fantastic theaters in the neighborhood, including the Abbey Theatre and the Gate Theatre.- 22-minute drive to the Dublin Airport
