PB hotel design editorial

At the southern end of Dublin's Grafton Street, where the city's most walked thoroughfare dissolves into the creative energy of the surrounding quarter, a six-storey red-brick building presents a facade that manages to feel both contemporary and entirely of its Georgian-Victorian streetscape. The Grafton Hotel, which opened in 2021 as part of the Autograph Collection, was designed with interiors by the Dublin-based firm Douglas Wallace, working across 122 rooms and a cluster of food and beverage spaces that each carry a distinctly different register. The guest rooms layer deep cobalt carpet in a gold-wave pattern against dark-stained timber furniture, channelled leather armchairs in cognac, and pendant lighting drawn from a mid-century European hotel idiom — the effect closer to a well-appointed private club than a corporate city property. Brass detailing recurs throughout, tying the rooms to the lobby café below, where a fluted dark-bronze service counter sits beneath an oxidised copper canopy, teal velvet tub chairs arranged on encaustic tile flooring alongside curved tangerine banquette seating. The ground-floor bar pulls in a different direction entirely — tiered copper pendants, burgundy leather bar stools with brass footrings, arched lattice millwork, and botanical-print occasional chairs — assembling something closer to a reimagined Victorian Dublin pub than a hotel bar, which in this part of the city is exactly the right instinct.

"The hotel was nice and clean and in a good location, but I don’t know if I would go back. I booked months ago requesting that our 2 rooms be near each other, and we were not only not near each other, we were on different floors! This was a problem because we were all one family and my adult son has autism. The front desk lady said that was all they had but something might open up later when I questioned it, but I was afraid they would move my son’s room and he’s not good with change so we left it. They also had us down for one king room and one twin room which is incorrect as I made the reservation for 2 twin rooms and verified that by email before we got there. The beds in both rooms looked the same to me. My son and husband’s room was nice, but ours was a weird configuration. You had to walk around the bathroom to get to the door. We didn’t have any kind of table in our room, but the other room did. The rooms were a nice size though. Air conditioning was good. The breakfast was fantastic and it was nice that it was buffet style so you could take what you liked. We had dinner here one night and the food was good, but the dining room closed before the advertised time. They were out of several things. The waitress mentioned 2 things before we sat down, but when my son wanted to order the steak after we sat down and already got our drinks, she said they were out of that too! Did I mention he’s not good with change? I wanted to go before the meltdown, but he was so tired that he ordered a burger. We had to sit in rickety chairs off the reception area. We didn’t eat dinner there after that. All in all, it was nice but with the rating it has, I expected better."

"Excellent place bang in the heart of Dublin, room v quiet and extremely comfortable. Special mention to Gary the concierge who helped me out on a number of occasions, making restaurant bookings for a large party and recommended a number of great sights and activities. I believe he is ably supported by his Dad Noel."
