It says it in the name. The Creative Quarter is an area that runs from South William Street to George’s Street, and from Lower Stephen’s Street to Exchequer Street and it is filled with creative activity. From galleries, independent outlets and innovative restaurants, this is a neighbourhood that draws artsy types. An historic area dating back to the 18th century, the red brick architecture gives a grand feel to the streets. The best hotels in the Creative Quarter are boutique properties set in old Victorian houses.
For a Boutique Stay

A lively stay

- Kelly's Hotel Dublin is a quirky boutique hotel. Individually styled rooms boast hand-selected design pieces and comfy beds; the best retain the building's Victorian-era charm with exposed wooden beams. Take the novel hotel bridge over to No Name Bar. A lively city stay.
