Dean Dublin

One of the newest hotels on the scene, The Dean is a modern boutique hotel with a gritty edge (door hangers read “Feck Off” as opposed to “Do Not Disturb”). Unique artwork is scattered throughout (there’s an original Tracey Emin neon piece in the lobby), alongside Instagram-friendly features like indoor swings. Rooms start at a cozy 136 square feet for the “Mod Pod” size, though the space is cleverly used, with a padded headboard spanning three sides of the bed. There’s a stormy palette of petrol blues and deep grays throughout, with cool touches like record players and retro telephones in the rooms.
