Set within four acres of private gardens, St. Helen's is a five-star Georgian estate built in the 1750s and now a protected National Monument, located a 10-minute drive from Dublin city centre. Part of the independent Scally Hotel Collection, the estate has been carefully restored while keeping the original character that makes it one of Dublin's most recognisable addresses. Talavera Restaurant serves Italian cuisine by candlelight, with seasonal ingredients and handmade pastas at its heart. The Orangerie Bar and Lounge sits beneath an original Victorian glass canopy, serving crafted cocktails, afternoon tea and light dining throughout the day. When the weather allows, the gardens become an open-air dining setting across manicured lawns and seasonal planting. Guests also have free access to the hotel's modern fitness suite. The hotel is 18 kilometres from Dublin International Airport and is served by the Aircoach transfer bus. There is a DART rapid railway station less than a mile away, offering access to Dublin city centre in 15 minutes. Complimentary on-site parking and free Wi-Fi are included for all guests. Couples particularly like the setting. A five-star Georgian estate with city access that few Dublin addresses can match.
