When it's most beautiful: A 5-star hotel in Dublin is worth it in every season. In March the city celebrates St. Patrick's Day, and in summer it stays light until late in the evening while the rooftop bar in the Docklands is open. In fall the theater season begins, in winter Grafton Street glows with lights, and afternoon tea by the fire becomes the highlight of the day.

How long to stay: For a 5-star hotel in Dublin we recommend three nights: one day for Trinity College and the Georgian squares, one for The Liberties and the Guinness Storehouse, plus an evening at the theater or in a pub.
