Kellys Hotel
Hide away in the lively Creative Quarter at this inviting stay. Located behind an emerald-green door, the whitewashed, minimalist property's 16 bedrooms are sandwiched between L'Gueuleton bistro below and a quirky residents' bar upstairs. Based in the city's red-brick artisan heart, you only have to step outside to find a plethora of cafés offering a warm welcome to pen-wielding prospective novelists. Tiptoe across the strange bridge at the top of the hotel to enter the renowned No Name Bar via a rabbit-hole entrance - on Fridays, it feels like a loft party of in-the-know Dubliners, and the perfect people-watching spot for some literary inspiration.
