Clarion Hotel IFSC

Fodor's Review:

Built with business guests in mind, this high-rise hotel has been a surprise hit with tourists. Smack in the middle of the International Financial Services Centre, the Clarion -- with an office-block-like exterior -- is indistinguishable from many of the financial institutions that surround it. The public spaces are bright and cheery, if a little uninspired, but the bedrooms -- big by Dublin standards -- are all straight lines and contemporary light-oak furnishings. Shades of blue and taupe do create a calm environment (the hotel claims its environment is guided by Eastern philosophy, no less), but for true serenity try to get a room at the front with great views out over the Liffey. Because the hotel mainly caters to business travelers, weekend bargains are a definite possibility -- make sure you ask.
