Hotel Description

The hotel is ideally located just off O’Connell Street, in the heart of Dublin city and following a complete rebuild and expansion, it offers 285 deluxe rooms of 4-star quality.

It is centrally located off the city's main thoroughfare, a short stroll from the best of international shopping, galleries, Trinity College, St Stephens Green and Temple Bar. Rooms are contemporary in design and finished to very high standards. We have introduced several new facilities to help further enhance your stay including 24-hour front desk, room service, and discounted guest and coach parking nearby. Disabled facilities and complimentary Wi-Fi internet access is also available throughout the hotel. Further guest facilities due for completion later in the year include a gym, business centre, games room and conference room for up to 135 delegates. The prime location, excellent facilities and modern rooms makes this the perfect hotel choice for business or pleasure.

Following a Euro 30 million investment, the Best Western Academy Plaza hotel has recently been awarded prestigious Best Western Premier status. The Premier brand is Best Western’s elite section and recognition of a number of extra facilities and services offered by the hotel compared to other hotels in the core brand. The significance of the award can be seen from the fact that only 80 of the 4000 Best Western hotels worldwide have achieved this status.

All public areas in the hotel have been totally redesigned and extended. On the ground floor this includes a large, marble clad lobby and foyer area, complemented by large comfortable leather couches and 3 lifts.

Indulge the senses with our selection of mouth-watering cuisine in one of 3 dining areas. Sir Harry's Bar and bistro offers extensive menu throughout the day and evening, 7 days a week.

Oscars Restaurant is open for breakfast from 07:00 daily, while our fine-dining Asian restaurant, Abacus, is open nightly from 17.00 and offers an extensive selection of Chinese delicacies and full bar.

Room Details

The bedrooms at the Best Western Academy Plaza hotel are decorated in strikingly stylish and rich colours. The carpets are a modern take on a traditional squared design and incorporate strong reds and blacks. The walls are a relaxing and sophisticated beige which blends in an almost enchanting unison with the cream net window dressings and warm rust curtains. The beds incorporate black leather headboards and are finished with solid wood bedside units with reading lamps and a streamline telephone.

Additional furnishings include a solid wood integrated work-desk with a modern styled black and cream coloured chair, a round glass-topped occasional table with a solid chrome base and a comfortable arm-chair with matching colours to the work-desk chair.

The rooms create an inspired blend of colours which works to create an energetic fusion of modernity while simultaneously recognising and reflecting some of the finer points of a traditional hotel experience.

The contemporary en suite has been decorated in high quality beige coloured tiles throughout and a silk-feel cream coloured shower curtain in bath or walk-in shower. The white sink unit has a solid black marble surround.
