The Devlin
Since opening in 2018 in trendy Ranelagh, The Devlin has caused a buzz among the beau monde. Its fashion-forward disposition manifests in herringbone floors and wooden ceilings that flank walls speckled with (mostly Irish) artwork. Small but perfectly formed is the vibe here. What rooms lack in size, they make up for with sleek design, smart gadgets - Dyson hairdryers, Smeg fridges, Marshall speakers - and locally sourced toiletries and nibbles. Price points suit a range of budgets, with room options including Super Double, Family and Bunk. Nab a booth in Layla's, the all-day, glass-box rooftop restaurant, or enjoy cocktails from a crack team of Ireland's most forward-thinking mixologists at Americana bar. We especially love the 50s-style subterranean Stella Cinema, which serves up fresh popcorn and a showreel of Hollywood classics and arthouse favourites.
