Browne’s is one of Dublin’s best boutique properties. Housed in a Georgian mansion, the 11 rooms and public spaces have recently been renovated and modernized, but the property has kept its old-fashioned charm. The décor reflects its history as a former gentleman’s club with ornate ceilings and wingback chairs. Rooms vary in size but all have plush fabrics, antique furniture, and modern amenities like a CD player and high-speed internet. The amazing king-size bed in the Thomas Leighton suite once belonged to Marilyn Monroe. Browne’s restaurant, a favorite Dublin destination, reflects the hotel’s aesthetic, serving classic Irish dishes with a modern twist.
