Dylan
Style Boudoir-chic Victorian townhouse
Setting Foliage-rich city fringe
This boutique hotel in Dublin is Victorian on the outside and victorious on the inside; a rather austere exterior conceals playfully cool and modern interiors and beds you'll never want to get out of. The decadent Dylan Bar could have sprung from the combined imaginings of David Lynch and Lewis Carroll, and a night of cocktails here is a Dublin must-do. And from the Dylan's leafy residential location, Dublin's best bits are all within walking distance.

Hotel bar
Dylan Bar is popular with in‑the‑know Dubliners for its decadent decor and killer cocktails; savour a trademark ‘Dylan’ cocktail (aged rum infused with tobacco leaves and stirred with brown sugar and Angostura Bitters), on a peacock‑blue velvet stool at the bar, or flirt with champagne flutes in a scarlet‑clad nook.
