In a wonderful start to the summer season, the Herbert Park Hotel & Park Residence has been ranked #2 in Ireland in the 2025 TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards.
This prestigious award officially recognises our hotel as not only one of the best hotels in Ireland, but also among the top 1% of properties worldwide.
What makes this award extra special is that it’s based entirely on real guest reviews. That means hundreds of busy people felt so strongly about their experience at our hotel that they took the time to give glowing feedback.
Let’s look at what it takes to get to the highest level of hospitality in the world.
As everyone knows, it’s the people who make a hotel stay memorable. Our guests rave about the personal touch at the Herbert Park Hotel & Park Residence, regularly naming individual staff members in their TripAdvisor reviews.
“From the moment we arrived Sam made us feel welcomed and at home. His kindness and warmth set the tone for an amazing stay! The breakfast crew was also attentive, friendly, and accommodating! 10/10 would recommend this lovely hotel!” — 553remyf
We know that our guests don’t just want impeccable service and faultless professionalism — they want to see what real Irish hospitality looks like. That’s why we go above and beyond to provide not only comfort and care, but also a healthy dose of “craic” — Gaelic for a good time.
“This evenin’, we landed at the Herbert Park Hotel, and sure weren’t we treated to a mighty fine time at the bar with Joe and Gokhan. The lads were not only whippin’ up the finest Irish drinks you could ask for, but they were full of chat, sharin’ tales and bits of Irish culture that made the night all the more memorable. We had a brilliant time altogether, and we’re fair lookin’ forward to joinin’ them again tomorrow!” — Erick C.
It’s this uniquely warm, intuitive, and consistent service that makes us one of the top-rated hotels in Ireland and keeps our guests returning year after year. We aim to deliver polished professionalism — with heartfelt hospitality.
Our ideal location in leafy Ballsbridge sends us soaring to the top of most “best hotels in Dublin city centre” lists. The hotel is positioned right beside the 48-acre Herbert Park, with football pitches, tennis courts, and a picture-perfect duck pond. The wide, tree-lined avenues are lined with ornate Victorian homes and prestigious international embassies.
This makes it the perfect place for both business and leisure travellers, who are able to enjoy peaceful, quiet surroundings, while remaining just minutes away from all of our capital’s main attractions. Families in particular enjoy the ability to pop in and out of the city centre, exploring the zoo, museums, and live shows while also taking well-deserved breaks back in the comfort of the hotel.
“One of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in. From the moment we arrived the gentleman who checked us in was so attentive and asked us questions about the [concert] we were going to and he remembered us the next day! Such a highlight. Location is lovely near the centre but also far enough away where it is quiet in the evenings.” — Beth C.
An ideal weekend itinerary might include morning coffee on the terrace, a walk through Herbert Park, lunch in the Pavillion, and an easy trip into the city centre. For those who prefer a more relaxed pace, the village-like neighbourhood of Ballsbridge has everything you could need for a slow Saturday or Sunday, with cosy pubs, independent shops, and easy access to the Aviva Stadium and RDS arena.
As one of the top hotels in Ireland, we have dining experiences to suit every type of guest, from families to business travellers and special-occasion diners.
Our breakfast features regularly in our guest’s Tripadvisor hotel reviews, as they enthuse about the freshness, choice, and service. We have Continental pastries, healthy omelettes, and a hearty traditional Irish fry on offer, so you’ll find whatever you need to kick-start your day in style.
“Great food. Breakfast, loved the honeycomb, fresh fruit, bakery choices and excellent team working it. Afterwards, a walk in Herbert Park to work off the calories. Dinner was delicious.” — Lori D.
Guests also love the relaxed atmosphere at the Terrace lounge, with an all-day menu of elegant sandwiches, fresh salads, and hearty pasta dishes that are ideal for working lunches or family get-togethers.
Our renowned Pavilion restaurant offers a more refined setting from 5:30pm every day, with a considered menu of seasonal Irish produce such as baked West Coast salmon, Irish rack of lamb, and prime fillet steak. Our expert staff are always on hand to whip up a cocktail, recommend the perfect wine pairing, or prepare a comforting night cap at the end of a fun evening in one of the top hotels in Dublin.
With more than 185 stylish, modern rooms on offer, every guest is treated to the ultimate in accommodation comfort. Our team works hard to combine luxury with practicality, taking the time to provide much-appreciated amenities like a Nespresso machine, silky-soft bedding, and high-end toiletries.
“We stayed in the Park Residence, in a studio apartment, and it was absolutely wonderful. We did take advantage of the Spring Dreams Summer Memories package, and were upgraded from a Classic King. We had a breathtaking view of Herbert Park from our room, and the facilities, especially the kitchen, were very impressive. The daily breakfast was included, along with lovely robes, guest slippers, and a bottle of delicious Prosecco.” — Christine B
All of our rooms have air conditioning and free WiFi and we even offer triple and interconnecting rooms that come in handy for relatives or friends who want to stay close. This is why we’re recognised as one of the best family hotels in Dublin, the ideal choice for staycationing visitors and overseas travellers alike.
“Perfect in all registers. Excellent room and amenities like gym. Bar and restaurant with diligent service and excellent food. Extremely kind, competent and helpful welcome staff, manned by Paolo. Good value for money in very nice settings.” — Filip V
