Beautifully located right next to Trinity College. It has a very modern, edgy vibe which was fine for the most part, except they didn't accept cash for transactions (I wanted to leave a tip for the housekeeping staff and couldn't break a large bill) and the very high-tech coffee maker in the room that you needed a smart phone to access the directions for, and even then was more than a chore than it should have been. Overall, though, a very fine hotel and VERY helpful staff.
