The Hilton Dublin hotel lies on the southern border of Dublin city centre, overlooking the historic Grand Canal. Even though it's slightly removed from the madding crowds, the usual tourist haunts (and a number of local treasures) are only a quarter of an hour away - or less - on foot.

Just 30 minutes from Dublin airport, for those attending conventions or events at the RDS, the Hilton Dublin hotel offers an ideal location. And for those travelling on business, there's WiFi available in all public areas and the hotel features a 24-hour, well-equipped business centre.

The Hilton Dublin itself is an excellent location for hosting meetings or social events, with eight meeting spaces for up to 450 guests. The hotel's Charlemont Suite has the capacity to cater for up to 400 guests, and can be split into five smaller function rooms. Alternatively, the Harcourt Suite offers maximum flexibility, and can be split into three smaller function rooms holding up to 90 delegates each. In better-weather months, you can celebrate your special event or hold your corporate gathering on the hotel's contemporary outdoor terrace.

Stay active by taking advantage of  the contemporary cardiovascular equipment and weights in the hotel fitness center. And then, feeling virtuous, enjoy lovely canalside views while tucking into authentic Irish cuisine at Uisce restaurant. Just want a pint and a something small? Sip a Guinness and snack on a fresh sandwich at the Stil Bar & Lounge.
