Set beside Dublin's Grand Canal and right next to the Charlemont Luas stop, Hilton Dublin is a handy base if you want city life on the doorstep and golf within easy reach. You're close enough to dip into the city centre for a proper night out, but far enough out to avoid the worst of the late-night noise when you've got an early tee time the next day.
Getting around is simple. The Luas line from Charlemont makes it easy to move across the city, with straightforward connections for match days at the Aviva and for ticking off Dublin staples like the Guinness Storehouse. If you're building a long weekend around the golf, it's a sensible, no-drama choice that keeps your logistics easy.
From here you can head north for Portmarnock, County Dublin and the Island, or look further afield for big-name days out like The K Club and The European Club. Just bear in mind Dublin traffic can bite at peak times, so an early start is your friend if you've booked a morning tee time. Most of the capital's headline courses are reachable by car in under an hour when the roads are clear, and the hotel's location near the canal gives you decent access to routes heading both north and south.
If you're planning a golf break in Dublin, the Hilton gives you a central base with good transport links, decent facilities and the kind of reliable service that means you can focus on your golf rather than logistics.
Who is this for? Golfers who want a central Dublin hotel with easy transport, simple comfort and quick access to both nightlife and a strong mix of parkland and links golf nearby.
Who is it best for? Couples, fourballs and small societies doing 2 to 4 nights, especially if you want one 'big hitter' course day (K Club or European Club) alongside a couple of Dublin coastal rounds.
