An alternative to the ultimate luxury of The Clarence penthouse is The Garden Terrace Suite or Room 508, the hotel’s best kept secret, offering a more modest pampering.
A large junior suite style room, decorated in royal blue and gold, Room 508 opens into a huge 700 sq foot terrace with panoramic views of Dublin. A wooden dining table and chairs are set up for meals al fresco with deck chairs inviting sunbathers.
With its superb views of the River Liffey below and the cityscape fanning north and south-east toward the horizon of the Dublin mountains, The Garden Terrace Suite is the perfect hideaway for those guests seeking luxury and a friendly, efficient, but unobtrusive service; a “home from home” all within a penny’s drop of the thriving bars, restaurants, galleries and boutiques of Dublin’s Temple Bar district.
in 2001 The Garden Terrace Suite became famous the world over when U2 played 2 live performances of Beautiful Day & Elevation.
The bedroom of the Suite is 378 sq foot or 34 sqm in size
This suite is not suitable for families with children, but ideal for special occasions.
