Radisson BLU Royal Hotel

Located on the quiet stretch of Golden Lane between St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Temple Bar, the new Radisson Blu Royal is perfect for design-forward business travelers. The open-plan lounge and bar gleam with panels of glossy wood and marble; the dramatic central staircase is wrapped in glass etched with text from the Irish Constitution. All 150 rooms have flat-screen TV’s and vast rain showers, and even the standard-issue gray carpeting is kicked up a notch with streaks of fuchsia.
