PB hotel design editorial

Merrion Square sits at the heart of Georgian Dublin, its red-brick terraces and iron-railed gardens forming one of the most coherent pieces of eighteenth-century urban planning in Europe — which makes the creamy limestone facade of The Leinster, purpose-built in a quietly confident contemporary classicism, an interesting proposition. Arched arcades at street level, a grid of steel-framed windows above, and a glazed rooftop addition set back from the parapet line give the building a layered verticality that acknowledges its surroundings without deferring to pastiche. The interiors carry a different energy altogether: bold red velvet headboards upholstered in large-scale botanical prints, spotted dalmatian-patterned carpets, crimson club armchairs, and fringed pendant shades in cream give the rooms the atmosphere of a well-dressed private house rather than a chain hotel. The rooftop bar arrives in full maximalist colour — walls, banquettes, and ceiling lacquered in a deep cinnabar red, teal velvet barrel chairs pulled up to honey-toned marble tables, and a cascading amber Murano-style glass chandelier overhead. The restaurant one floor up takes a different tack, olive trees planted directly into the floor anchoring a space dressed in tan leather dining chairs, aged timber ceiling panels, and hexagonal pendant lanterns — the effect is closer to a Mediterranean courtyard brought indoors than to a conventional hotel dining room. Taken together, the public spaces move through registers with considerable confidence, the exterior's restraint giving little away about the theatrical warmth waiting inside.

"Hmmm it’s got potential but there is no client experience and a slightly snobby feel to those that greet you and it’s not deserved for such a new hotel the restaurant has a great vibe for groups - expensive food is fairly average - I didn’t have breakfast but heard that it is good - it’s missing great staff that make you feel special I’m Afraid"

"We can't recommend the Leinster Hotel highly enough for anyone planning their wedding. From our very first visit, the team made us feel completely at ease, and that care never wavered right through to the big day. Their attention to detail was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble, every question was answered promptly, and they thought of things we hadn't even considered. The planning process, which can be so stressful, was genuinely enjoyable thanks to their calm, organised and reassuring approach. On the day itself everything ran seamlessly. The venue looked beautiful, the food was excellent, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we and our guests were looked after. Several of our guests have since told us it was one of the best weddings they've been to. If you're looking for a venue where you'll be treated like a priority and your day will be handled with real professionalism and warmth, look no further. Thank you to everyone at the Leinster Hotel for making our wedding so special!"

"We honestly couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, the team at The Leinster made the entire planning process feel so easy, and on the day itself everything ran seamlessly. A huge thank you to Kaela, who was incredible throughout the whole journey. She was always so helpful, responsive and reassuring, and made the planning process completely stress-free. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and it was such a pleasure working with her. On the day, Stjefan and Shane were absolutely fantastic. They made sure everything ran smoothly and looked after us and our guests so well. Every member of staff was friendly, attentive and genuinely invested in making the day special, and so many of our guests commented afterwards on how amazing the team were. The food deserves a special mention too. We have genuinely had so many people tell us it was the best wedding food they've ever had, and we couldn't agree more. Every course was exceptional, and the quality exceeded all of our expectations. The Leinster is such a beautiful venue and the Rico Suite was amazing, but it's the people who really make it so special. We felt so well looked after from start to finish, and we're incredibly grateful to the entire team for helping make our wedding day everything we hoped it would be and more. We couldn't recommend The Leinster highly enough to any couple looking for an unforgettable wedding venue."
