Winter in Dublin

...lively streets, and the captivating sounds of live music fill the air. Whether you're treating the kids to an unforgettable winter getaway or enjoying a romantic escape for two, this season has something magical in store.

There’s nothing like Winter in Dublin. Gray skies and short daylight hours lend themselves to the mystical charm of the city, as historic landmarks like Trinity College, Dublin Castle, and St. Patrick’s Cathedral glow beneath the soft light of winter.

While the temperatures may drop, they simply provide permission to discover Dublin’s selection of cosy pubs and their secret snugs. From Mulligan’s and Kehoe’s to O’Neill’s on Pearse Street, you won’t need to travel far to find a warm and inviting spot to while away a few hours.

If you’re travelling to soak up the cultural arts of the city, be sure to make your way to any one of the many theatres across the city. Dublin is home to landmark venues such as the Gaiety Theatre and the Abbey Theatre, while the newest addition, The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, is just a short 15-minute walk from Sandymount Hotel.

Yes, as a fair-weather city, Dublin has indoor activities in abundance. However, many find winter can be an especially stunning time to explore Dublin’s Coastal Trail. Stretching from Skerries to Killiney, the coastal trail offers the perfect car-free day as the city’s DART service runs along the entire route. For guests of Sandymount Hotel, the trail is conveniently just a 20-minute walk away, with Sandymount itself serving as a key stopping point along the path.

After a day of exploration and discovery, retreat to the Sandymount Hotel where cosy nooks await. Mark the end of a perfect day with your tipple of choice by a blazing fire, before retiring to your room for the evening. If you return feeling peckish, Whitty’s Restaurant is ready with an All-Day menu to satisfy every craving. From pizzas and sharing boards to steaks and burgers, you'll be spoiled for choice.
