Radisson Blu in Dublin

Known for its friendly people and cultural sights, Dublin is also a shopper’s paradise with an eclectic mix of design emporiums, book shops, art galleries and shopping malls. Radisson Blu offers three first-class hotels in Dublin that each serve as the ideal base for exploring the city’s shops. The chic central Radisson Blu Royal Hotel is just a stone’s throw from Dublin’s fascinating antiques quarter, while the luxurious 5 star Radisson Blu St. Helen’s Hotel and the relaxing Radisson Blu Hotel, Dublin Airport are just outside the city.

Grafton Street lies at the heart of Dublin’s fashionable shopping scene and is home to Brown Thomas, which showcases the best of Irish and international design. Just off Grafton Street is the Powerscourt Townhouse offering a cosy shopping experience with designer boutiques and art galleries. If it’s Irish knitwear, tweed and woven goods that you’re after, then head to Nassau Street and Suffolk Street beside Trinity College. A must see is cultural Temple Bar where independent galleries, music stores and unusual clothes shops line the cobblestone streets. At weekends, this is the place to pick up a bargain at the book market and feast on delicacies from the food market. The award-winning Dundrum Town Centre with over 100 brand stores and 29 restaurants is just a short train ride from the city centre.
