For those
seeking somewhere a little bit different in Dublin, The
Schoolhouse hotel is definitely ahead of its class. Unique,
intimate and ideally located, the four star Schoolhouse
hotel exudes a warm and friendly atmosphere. The hotel is
located just 10 minutes walk from many of Dublin's main
visitor attractions: the fashionable area of Grafton Street,
Trinity College, Temple Bar, St. Stephen's Green, The National
Museum, The R.D.S and Landsdowne Rugby Football Stadium.
The original building of the hotel was designed by the
famous architectural partnership of Sir Thomas Dean and
Benjamin Woodward, a partnership which also designed two
of Dublin's finest buildings, the Museum Building at Trinity
College and the Kildare Street Club. The building opened
as St Stephen's parochial School in 1861 and was at centre
of the Battle of Mount Street during the 1916 Easter Rising.
The school closed in 1969 and did not re-open again until
1998, when it opened its doors as the Schoolhouse hotel.
Completely refurbished in March 2006, the Schoolhouse hotel has retained many of its original
features from its days as St. Stephen's Parochial School.
Its former classrooms now host the award-winning 'Schoolhouse
Restaurant' and the lively and popular Schoolhouse Bar.
Private lounge and meeting room facilities are available
along with private parking. The Schoolhouse hotel is the
ideal venue when on business or for a leisurely weekend
or midweek break. |
