Right in Dublin 4
Visit From The USA
Planning a trip to Ireland? The Schoolhouse Hotel in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, offers American visitors an authentic, character-filled base from which to discover the city and the country beyond.
Our Hotel
This is not a chain hotel. The Schoolhouse is a restored 19th century heritage building with its own remarkable story, a warm and personal team, complimentary on-site parking and a much-loved Gastrobar right on the premises. It is the kind of place guests come back to, year after year.
Close to What Matters
The Aviva Stadium is a 15 minute walk away. The RDS, Bord Gais Energy Theatre, Trinity College Dublin and the city centre are all easily reachable on foot, by DART or by taxi. For guests connecting onward to other parts of Ireland, the hotel is well positioned for access to Dublin Airport, Heuston Station and Dublin Port.
A Piece of Irish History
Built in 1859 as a parochial school, the Schoolhouse has been beautifully restored as a boutique hotel. The original red-brick facade, vaulted ceilings and gothic arched windows are very much intact. As The Telegraph put it, it has a “miniature Hogwarts feel”. History is not just told here. It is lived in.
Warm, Personal Service
The Schoolhouse is a boutique hotel, which means the team knows their guests by name. Service is attentive, friendly and unhurried. There is always someone at hand to recommend a walk, book a restaurant or arrange a private driver for the day.
Authentic Irish Food and Drink
The Schoolhouse Gastrobar serves seasonal, locally sourced food across breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week. From a proper Irish breakfast to an evening by the fire with a craft cocktail in hand, this is what good Dublin hospitality actually looks like.
Planning Your Visit
The Schoolhouse Hotel is a short drive or taxi ride from Dublin Airport, and is easily reached by Aircoach, with a stop right outside the hotel. Private airport transfers can be arranged on request.
The hotel also offers private driver services and curated private tours for guests who would like a guided introduction to Dublin and the surrounding areas.
A Note on Currency and Booking
