A luxury boutique hotel inspired by the Orient. Unless you were intimately acquainted with Dublin, you would never guess that the fine facade opposite the Mansion House in the city's heritage centre hid layer upon layer of esoteric styles dedicated to your comfort and pleasure. What started out as La Stampa Brasserie in 1990 has metamorphosed into a luxury boutique hotel inspired by the Orient. Behind the flamboyance of the design, there is wit, entertainment and luscious helpings of comfort verging on the decadent! The rooms are full of character: Parisian bedspreads and crisp linen as well as today's techno- necessities. The Mandala Spa is a mesmerising journey into bliss. The Brasserie is a Dublin landmark, its baroque opulence a glittering setting for its award-winning cuisine. Tiger Becs, a Thai restaurant, is as authentic as they come. Or try the city's trendiest night spot, the Moroccan-style Sam Sara Café Bar, where Mediterranean and Asian flavours drift into the early hours.
