Fodor's Expert Review The Gibson Hotel

Point Village, Dublin, Co. Dublin, Dublin 1, Ireland Fodor's Choice

The terrace bar at the tastefully modern Gibson Hotel has to be the dream spot to view the impressive skyline and shimmering waterways of Dublin's trendy docklands area. A Nordic, spacious feel to the design ensures rooms flooded with natural light, and many open onto private courtyards, creating a calm oasis in the bustling city. Floating shelves, lighting strips cleverly hidden under the beds, and a strong green-organic ethos add to the chilled-out vibe. Towering bamboo and surreal murals give the public spaces a dash of the exotic. The Coda Eatery prides itself on using local produce and creating wholesome, healthy dishes.
