Minor Hotels has expanded its Anantara brand to
Dublin, Ireland.
Anantara The Marker Dublin Hotel, one of the Irish
capital’s most contemporary and architecturally impressive
buildings, is located in the heart of the Docklands, an area of
the city that is home to some of the world’s most famous names in
tech.
Previously known as The Marker,
the hotel, a member of Leading Hotels of the World, recently
underwent a multi-million Pound renovation which included all 187 bedrooms
being refurbished, while the lobby and bar have been refreshed
with new soft furnishings, bespoke cabinetry and
custom furniture. A new restaurant, ‘Forbes Street by
Gareth Mullins’, features the very best of locally sourced
products.
In addition to the rooms, suites and new
restaurant, the hotel offers eight meeting and event
facilities; a spa with an infinity pool, sauna and eucalyptus-infused steam
room; and a rooftop
terrace with panoramic 360º views across the cityscape stretching
to the sea at Dublin Bay.
Overlooking the Waterfront on Grand Canal Square
in the heart of Dublin, the hotel is close to the International Financial Services Centre
(IFSC) and the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre.
In the surrounding area visitors to the city can
enjoy a guided walk through the culture and heritage of the
Docklands, which dates back to the eighteenth century offering a
wide range of options for foodie travelers, including cosy cafés
and high-end restaurants, shopping on nearby Grafton Street, boat
rides along the River Liffey and in Dublin Bay, or sporting
activities from a relaxing yoga class to watching a game of Gaelic
football at renowned Croke Park.
Other experiences nearby and at the hotel include
taking a deep dive into the
sporting, cultural and historical experiences of Ireland: wild
swimming in the famous 40ft seaside swimming beauty spot is a cold
but exhilarating experience; a
night of storytelling with a traditional ‘seanachai’ (Gaelic for
‘story teller’); a horse racing experience with a
leading horse trainer; and a decadent Breakfast By Design private
rooftop dining to kick start the day.
The hotel in Dublin is the 7th Anantara in
Europe, joining Anantara Vilamoura Algarve Resort in Portugal,
Anantara Villa Padierna Palace in Marbella, Spain, Anantara New
York Palace Budapest in Hungary, Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome
Hotel in Italy, Anantara Plaza Nice Hotel in France and Anantara
Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam in Netherlands.
