Clontarf Castle

Clontarf Castle is a luxury hotel set within Dublin's only castle, originally built in 1172 by the Anglo-Normans on the banks of Dublin Bay. This 12th-century fortress combines medieval heritage with contemporary luxury accommodation, featuring various bedroom types from boutique queens to spacious suites with period-appropriate design. The castle houses the award-winning Fahrenheit Restaurant, set within original 12th-century stone walls adorned with striking wooden beams, stained glass windows, and panelled walls; it won Luxury Hotel Restaurant of the Year at the 2025 Yes Chef Awards. Guests can enjoy fine dining, the Knights Bar and Indigo Lounge with terrace access, an art gallery celebrating its historical narrative, and proximity to coastal walks, nearby Howth, and Dublin attractions.
