The Dean Dublin

$$$ · UpscaleLeashed only

The Dean Dublin is a design-led boutique hotel on Harcourt Street in the city centre, close to Iveagh Gardens, St Stephen's Green and the Grand Canal. It welcomes dogs under 10 kilograms on a paid dog package that includes a bed, bowls and a toy.

Why it made the list

A central boutique hotel with a clearly published dog policy, accepting one dog per room under 10 kilograms and providing dog bedding and bowls, in a neighbourhood suited to city walks.

Good to know before you go

The hotel's own pet policy welcomes one dog per room weighing under 10 kilograms, booked in advance, at a €40 dog package per stay that includes a dog bed, bowls and a toy. Dogs are allowed in lobbies, lounges and selected bars but not in restaurants, pools or gyms, and must stay on a lead in public areas. Address: 33 Harcourt Street, Dublin 2; no opening hours are published. Facts taken from The Dean Hotels dog policy page.

Practical notes

  • Book the dog package before arrival, as the hotel refuses the booking if the package is unavailable on your dates because pet capacity has been reached.
  • Dogs must stay on a lead in public areas and cannot be left alone in rooms; Iveagh Gardens and St Stephen's Green are close for walks.

House rules and verification

The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
