Around and about Dublin

The National Museum of Decorative Arts & History is an easy two-minute walk for guests of the Ashling Hotel. And entry is free.

Here, at the Arbour Hill military cemetery, 14 of the executed leaders of the 1916 Rising are buried, including Patrick Pearse, James Connolly and Major John Mc Bride.

Acres of grassland, woodland and wide open spaces, the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The closest thing Dublin’s got to a hipster quarter. And very close to the Ashling Hotel.

This is area where the Jameson Whiskey Distillery is located. It’s about a seven-minute walk from the Ashling Hotel. Or three minutes on the Luas.

Dublin Zoo is so close to the Ashling Hotel that, some say, on a quiet morning, you can hear the animals waking from their sleep.
