Fodor's Review:

How do you make a Dublin hotel instantly trendy? Simple: get the country's top fashion guru to design the interiors. John Rocha had the last word on everything at this übermodern trendsetting hotel, down to the toiletries and staff uniforms. Past the 18th-century Georgian facade, the superstriking, Wallpaper-ready public areas contrast with the very unfussy, almost Scandinavian bedrooms. Some visitors complain that the place leaves them a little cold, though others claim that in trying to be too cool—there's even a private art gallery—the Morrison is as good as a London boutique hotel, though many times the size. Halo, the hotel's nouvelle Irish restaurant, is super-stylish and has one of the most ambitiously delicious menus in town. Halfway between the Ha'penny and Capel Street bridges, the Morrison is no more than a 10-minute walk from Trinity College. Pros: people-watching-worthy cocktail bar; seriously designed rooms; experimental cuisine at Halo restaurant. Cons: tries a little too hard to be cool; located on busy road; expensive for the Northside.
