Devlin

Top choice in Dublin


Following the lead of its hip sister hotel the Dean, this Ranelagh outpost is an artsy spot in one of Dublin's fanciest boroughs. Though definitely on the small side, the rooms (or ModPods) are well designed, with navy-coloured walls, local artwork and a stash of Irish treats – there are Dyson hairdryers in the rooms and a cinema in the basement.
