Clontarf Castle, reborn and redesigned, is the choice of interesting people the world over. Forget what time it is, Clontarf Castle is an imaginary world, no longer the past, not quite the future. When you arrive, time becomes…yours. Located in Dublin's leafy Northside suburbs, Clontarf Castle Hotel is part of a privately owned Irish collection of hotels, a stone's throw from a city bursting with life, energy and vitality, history and history in the making. With turrets, tapestries and an ancient history, the thick castle walls conceal a hotel interior that would not be out of place in Manhattan or Miami. A EUR10 million makeover has seen this Dublin Castle willingly leap from the 19th-century and land 2 feet firmly in the 21st. The ancient castle walls hold firm the traditions of Ireland, a welcome as warm and grand as the Great Hall itself and private grounds that ensure a peaceful nights sleep. Rest, daydream or play. Serenity in the security of the castle, underpinned by impeccable standards of service, and attention to detail.
