Celebrate Easter in luxurious comfort
Located in the heart of leafy Ballsbridge, our four-star hotel is the perfect location for an Easter hotel break in Ireland. The property overlooks the green fields of Herbert Park, with its football pitches, tennis courts, and regular schedule of outdoor events. An enchanting duck pond and lively playground make it ideal for a spring walk or family picnic under newly budded boughs.
If you prefer to curl up and enjoy some downtime indoors, our family rooms and spacious suites offer every conceivable comfort. Depending on the age of your children, you might prefer a triple room or a pair of interconnecting rooms, each featuring air conditioning, complimentary WiFi, and a Nespresso machine. There’s also a mini bar if mum and dad want to relax with a well-deserved night-cap after bedtime.
You don’t even have to leave the hotel to enjoy four-star dining, with 24-hour room service, a range of casual bites at the Terrace Lounge, and an elegant evening menu at the Pavilion Restaurant. Whether you’re hoping for a warming soup and sandwich, a hearty beef burger, or a decadent rack of Easter lamb, our expert chefs are on hand to make your Easter family break in Ireland a gastronomic feast.
Explore Dublin city centre as a family
No Easter hotel break would be complete without a visit to Dublin’s most popular attractions like the Natural Museum of Ireland, EPIC Irish Emigration Museum, or Explorium Science and Sports Centre.
Explore flora, fauna, and a little fairy magic at Airfield Estate’s Easter Fairy Trail, running from the 15th to the 27th April. Take your little ones on a “whimsical journey through nature, where rustic charm meets magical creatures” among the historic farm, gardens, and menagerie of cows, donkeys, pigs, goats, and hens.
If you prefer more exotic animals, make sure to schedule a trip to Dublin’s Zoo in nearby Phoenix Park. Families can enjoy a school-holiday special event with interactive games, face painting, and an exciting Easter egg hunt — with the elusive Easter bunny set to make an appearance too.
If you like to stay close to the hotel, you could host your own Bank Holiday get-together in Herbert Park. With 32 acres at your disposal, searching for Easter eggs is bound to be a fun-filled activity for everyone, young or old.
Make the most of your Easter weekend hotel break
With so much to do and see on your doorstep in Ballsbridge, the Herbert Park Hotel & Park Residence ticks every box for a relaxing Easter hotel break in Dublin. You could enjoy a one-night escape or curate a three-day itinerary for you and your family that might look a little like this: Day 1: Enjoy an indulgent breakfast with a choice of fresh pastries, healthy fruit and cereals, or a proper Irish fry. Then set off for Dublin Zoo, exploring all the wild and wonderful animals, exhibits, and activities on offer. Finish your day with a delicious dinner in the Pavilion restaurant before heading upstairs to snuggle up with a movie in our spacious family rooms.
Day 2: Do a spot of shopping on Grafton Street, where there’s something for all the family, from the Disney Store to Brown Thomas. Grab a hot chocolate from the beloved Butler’s Café and stroll the cobblestoned streets, listening to buskers entertaining the Easter break crowds. When you’re all shopped out, visit our Terrace for a restorative coffee, a refreshing glass of bubbles, or a fun mocktail for the kids.
Day 3: Pop to the famous Avoca food market for some tasty sandwiches, hot drinks, and freshly baked goodies for a picnic in nearby Herbert Park.
