Five-star Georgian estate set within four acres of private gardens in Dublin

Property & Setting

St. Helen's Hotel is a five-star Georgian estate built in the 1750s, now a protected National Monument. The hotel sits within four acres of private gardens with manicured lawns and seasonal planting. It is part of the independent Scally Hotel Collection and located a 10-minute drive from Dublin city centre.

Rooms & Grounds

Rooms are set within the historic manor and offer garden views across the estate's private grounds. The property includes an original Victorian glass conservatory that houses the Orangerie Bar & Lounge. Guests have free access to the on-site fitness suite and complimentary on-site parking.

Dining

Talavera Restaurant serves Italian cuisine by candlelight, with seasonal ingredients and handmade pastas. The Orangerie Bar & Lounge offers crafted cocktails, afternoon tea, and light dining beneath the Victorian glass canopy. During suitable weather, the gardens become an open-air dining setting across the lawns.

Events & Business

The hotel has eleven meeting rooms that accommodate up to 350 guests for business events. The Victorian-style conservatory and outdoor gardens serve as venues for corporate events, weddings, and private celebrations. The estate includes the Pembroke Suite and Le Panto Suite, each with private terrace access for functions.

Location & Transport

Herbert Park and Sandymount Beach are within walking distance for outdoor recreation. A DART rapid railway station less than a mile away provides access to Dublin city centre in 15 minutes. Dublin International Airport is 18 kilometres from the hotel and served by the Aircoach transfer bus.

Highlights

“In my opinion, the hotel's grand Victorian architecture and landscaped gardens create a relaxing yet refined atmosphere, conveniently located near Dublin's attractions. I was particularly impressed by the award-winning dining, especially the Italian cuisine served. For both business and leisure travellers, the preserved historical character alongside modern facilities makes it a standout choice.”

i received an upgrade to a suite upon arrival (i was actually surprised). the room was quiet, with no noise from outside, even though there was a wedding party in the restaurant. the bed was very comfortable. the breakfast offered a large variety of food choices and different areas to sit.
