“Dublin’s top design hotel by John Rocha has cool white interiors and a lavish penthouse suite, just steps away from Temple Bar.”
The Morgan is a striking contemporary luxury hotel, perfectly positioned just over the Liffey from Temple Bar in Dublin– near enough to walk back from the clubs, far enough away to not hear the noise. Interiors are fantastically flamboyant, and so they should be: fashion guru John Rocha had the last word on every detail.
The facilities
The lobby of the luxury hotel is a large, airy, open-plan space, extending up a short flight of stairs into a lounge bar and two restaurants. The Morgan is vaguely Indonesian in style, with lots of handsome dark wood and marble against the cream walls. Exotic mahogany sculptures are dotted here and there, as are other artifacts (a canoe, a wooden trunk); enormous gilt mirrors lean up against the walls. Upstairs in the luxury hotel, blue-lit corridors are built with strange perspectives to complete the illusion. The restaurant, Halo, has been reworked and the café/bar has been extended to create extremely trendy spaces for cool young Dubliners who don’t mind the occasional crack in the veneer.
The rooms
Boasting 121 rooms, the luxury hotel’s spacious standard rooms have soothing palettes of grey and chocolate brown and there are luxurious touches in the Frette linens and velvet throws. The Georgian rooms overlooking the Liffey are rather more like mini-suites, with teak floors and hand-painted throws and cushions. Bathrooms, behind cool curved walls, are large, with big baths and separate showers, plenty of Molton Brown and hair-straighteners for party girls and la crème de la cool, Apple entertainment systems.
