James Joyce Penthouse Suite

James Joyce, born in Dublin on 2nd February 1882, left a remarkable legacy as an Irish novelist, short story writer, and poet. In 1904, he briefly rented the front upstairs room at No. 60 Shelbourne Road, Ballsbridge, from the McKernan family. It was from this house, on 16th June 1904, that he set out to meet Nora Barnacle, who would later become his wife. Joyce immortalised this date by setting the events of his novel, Ulysses, on the same day.

The James Joyce Suite is Dublin's largest and most prestigious 5-star suite, offering an unparalleled experience of luxury and comfort. Spanning 250 square metres (2,691 square feet), this suite provides a luxurious one-bedroom retreat, with the option to expand into a three-bedroom suite by seamlessly interconnecting with two adjacent rooms.

Elegantly designed with bespoke furnishings, silk-covered walls, and a private bar, the James Joyce Suite offers an unmatched blend of space, sophistication, and comfort, making it the ideal choice for an extended stay in Dublin.
