In the know

Our favourite rooms

Style rooms and Experience suites have king-size beds; all Experience suites have an additional TV in the bathroom (if you like to watch while you wash). Corner rooms are brighter, with big windows (light sleepers should probably avoid those overlooking the terrace at the back, as it can be noisy at weekends when the bar is busy). For a romantic weekend, try room 201, which has a red Italian-leather bed, a large bathroom and walk-in shower. 303 has a lovely pitched roof, and a great desk area if you need to use your laptop while you're away.

Packing tips

Leave the GHDs at home – Dylan has hair straighteners you can borrow to add polish to lacklustre locks.

Also

Not all rooms have bath tubs, so if you love long hot soaks make sure you request one when you book.

Food & drink

Hotel restaurant

Feast on the freshest of Irish produce cooked with French flair at Dylan Restaurant. The recently re-styled eatery is decked out with glossy wood-topped tables, 1950s inspired lighting, silver and nori coverings on the chairs and soft velvet banquettes. By day, it's bright and airy but at night, romance levels soar and the lighting levels drop, with contented diners lingering over Padraic Hayden's fine cuisine at candle-studded tables.

Dress code

Comfortable urban élan.

Top table

A table by the window for people-watching or a corner table with the extra-high-backed chairs for maximum intimacy.

Last orders

Dylan Restaurant: Monday–Wednesday, 10.30pm; Thursday–Saturday, 11pm; Sunday, 10pm. Dylan Bar: 12.30am on Fridays and Saturdays; 11.30pm on Thursdays and 11pm the rest of the week.

Room service

Full menu available 24 hours a day (fish of the day and roast-beef sandwiches are good choices).

Hotel bar

Dylan Bar is popular among in-the-know Dubliners for its decadent decor and killer cocktails; slurp a trademark Dylan mixed with Stoli and Galliano on a peacock-blue velvet stool at the bar, or flirt with flutes in a scarlet-clad nook.
