The Gibson Hotel

Affordable Dublin Hotel near Entertainment Hub

Urban Retreat

Billing itself as an urban retreat in Dublin, Ireland, the Gibson Hotel sits near the Dublin airport and within walking distance of the Convention Centre Dublin, the Grand Canal Theatre, and 3Arena. Attend a music concert, theater event, or art gallery opening in the area, and rest your weary self once the event ends. You could also venture further out into the city via the tram or bus, both of which have stops near the hotel.  

Eclectic Eatery and Expansive Business Epicenter

Indulge yourself at the Coda Eatery, and partake in a range of food and drinks. Depending upon the year, the eatery may offer specials, one of which includes a food market buffet. Another option is the Hemidemisemiquaver (Hemi) Bar, which has a menu that features a bit of everything. The bar, found on the third floor of the hotel, includes Pan Asian cuisine as well as classic European. Every Friday and Saturday night, the resident DJ plays at the Hemi Bar, and the bar offers a reduced menu.

For business meetings, take advantage of the hotel’s services and use its dedicated conference area. Found on two floors of the hotel, nine up-to-date meeting rooms can house 300 businesspeople. If you need additional technology, you can borrow the hotel’s LCD projector with touchscreen capabilities and DVD player.

Comfort for Pleasure or Business

Unwind in your tranquil room at the Gibson Hotel, and let the plush Respa beds recharge you. Full of soothing textures and colors, these rooms create an oasis indoors. Natural light shines in through the windows, and you can gaze out across the cityscape or one of the private courtyards. With ensuite bathrooms filled with organic shampoos and power hair dryers, you will feel pampered without even leaving your room.

If you’re traveling on business, use the in-room workstation and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and broadband access to get your work done. For added piece of mind, the room comes equipped with a laptop-compatible safe. For extended stays, upgrade your stay for an additional fee and space, and take in the views of Dublin City from your private balcony.

The Bottom Line

Similar in offerings to the Wynn’s Hotel in Dublin, the Gibson Hotel’s centralized atmosphere make it a smart, affordable choice if you’re looking for a resting spot when perusing Dublin. However, the eco-friendly Gibson features in-house entertainment every weekend.
