A sense of the place

The Merrion — room — A guest room at The Merrion: a bed and sofa upholstered in red-and-white toile de Jouy under a canopy of the same fabric, gilt wall sconces in panelled cream walls, a framed map of Dublin, a white door, a gilt mirror over a glass-topped dressing table with white flowers, and a coffee table with books and fruit in the foreground; nobody in frame — © The Merrion

The Merrion — pool — The indoor pool of The Merrion's spa: a long still pool reflecting a trompe-l'oeil mural of a formal garden with blue-and-white drapes at its far end, white columns with mosaic bases on both sides, classical stone reliefs on the cream walls and spotlights in the ceiling; nobody in frame — Ruth Maria Murphy / The Merrion

The Merrion — garden — A verdigris bronze horse sculpture in the garden of The Merrion, among purple verbena and dark-leaved shrubs, before the glass wall of the garden gallery reflecting the Georgian houses and white parasols; nobody in frame — © The Merrion

Why it's in the collection

Because four restored Georgian townhouses opposite Government Buildings were made a hotel in the nineties as an homage to the 18th century, with Italian linens and marble bathrooms under a collection of Irish art, the Merrion Spa and its pool, Jim Reynolds's classical garden, two bars, two restaurants and Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud — and the house is listed at exactly the tier it holds.

On Upper Merrion Street, Dublin 2, opposite Government Buildings; an independent house.
Four Georgian townhouses; the Irish art collection; the Merrion Spa and its pool; the garden by Jim Reynolds; two bars, two restaurants and Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud.
