Temple Bar
Number 25
If you’d rather feel like a local than a visitor, this self-catered Georgian townhouse on a Temple Bar side street may be just the ticket. The 1720s-era building has been lovingly refurbished, with a dark-paneled staircase that’s alarmingly (and historically correctly) slanted, a gracious first-floor drawing room with a grand piano, and three bedrooms (one double, one triple, and one twin), all with high ceilings, gleaming wood floors, and basic but elegant wood-and-chintz décor. Among the wonderful period details are an enormous freestanding claw-foot bathtub, fireplaces in the bedrooms, and fragments of the house’s original wallpaper carefully framed on the staircase.
Room to Book: The pick of the bedrooms is the four-poster master on the first floor.
Insider Tip:
Pack your earplugs. No. 25’s central pub-scene location and single-glazed windows are an unfortunate combination.
