If you choose a hotel in the city centre you should have no need to use public transport as you'll find all the shopping streets, nightlife areas and attractions within easy walking distance of each other.

Dublin city centre hotels...

O' Connell Street is the city's main thoroughfare and so it could be considered the heart of Dublin. Hotels here have a prime location for sightseeing, shopping and nightlife as everything is literally a stone's throw from O'Connell Street. If you want to stay here, choose hotels like the Gresham Hotel, the Royal Dublin Hotel, Lynam's Hotel and the Academy Hotel.

If you can't find accommodation on O'Connell Street, don't worry, as there are plenty of other hotels just off this street like, Cassidy's Hotel, the Arlington Hotel, the Aston Hotel, the Comfort Inn Dublin Parnell Square and the Abbey Hotel.

The Irish Financial Services Centre (IFSC) and the Point Depot Concert and Exhibition venue are located within close proximity of each other on the North Docklands area of the city. So if you're in Dublin for business or you're going to a concert in the Point you can choose hotels like the Clarion Hotel IFSC, Jury's Inn Custom House Quay or the Quality Hotel Dublin City.
