"Never one to shy away from color or pizazz, The Fitzwilliam is a Dublin hotel that will stop at nothing to please guests, from the airy lobby scented with lemongrass to the sexy bar tucked away at the back. It’s also home to Glover's Alley, a new restaurant with a pink 1920s dining room and a French-inspired menu. Rooms feature pops of color throughout—some even sport chartreuse bathtubs—and quaintly packaged Murdock toiletries (apparently one of Michelle Obama’s favorite brands). Before your stay, someone will call to ask about what you want from your room and how he or she can help make your trip the best it can be. It’s an old-fashioned touch that makes all the difference." - Nicola Brady
