The Merrion, one of Dublin�s most exclusive addresses, will open the doors of its exclusive penthouse for bookings from 1st September 2004. With views over the Dublin skyline and the Wicklow Mountains in the distance, The Merrion Penthouse provides unparalleled security and privacy, whilst offering the luxurious five-star comfort, services and facilities for which The Merrion has become legendary. With living space of approximately 2,800 square feet split across two floors and a separate 1,000 square foot rooftop terrace complete with cedarwood hot tub, The Merrion Penthouse is set to become the piece de resistance in Dublin�s most deluxe hotel.
The Merrion Penthouse has been decorated in a classically elegant style that reflects the understated elegance of the hotel, but with individuality that defines The Penthouse. Aidan Cavey, one of Ireland�s leading interior designers, has utilised fabrics and furnishings from some of the world�s most exclusive design houses to provide an interior that is calm, luxurious and elegantly welcoming. Several fine examples of contemporary Irish Art from the hotel�s extensive collection, as well as other objet d�art, add the finishing touches to this unique accommodation.
Guests have exclusive access to The Merrion Penthouse via a private lift. Upon entry through an imposing mahogany front door, the large entrance hall sets the tone of The Penthouse interior with a handmade woven rug � a copy of an abstract painting by renowned Irish artist, Mainie Jellett.
On the ground level of The Penthouse are the two main bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom finished in Italian Carrara marble and views over the marvellous 18th-century hotel gardens. The master bedroom also comprises a large en-suite dressing area.
An elegant staircase leads to the beautifully furnished top floor, where an open-plan living space awaits guests, who can gather around the cosy flames of the stone fireplace, enjoy the state-of-the-art entertainment area with surround-sound audio and TV and dine in style while enjoying spectacular views over Dublin and the hotel gardens below. A further room off the main living area can be used as a study, private meeting room, gymnasium or as accommodation for security personnel if required.
Within The Merrion Penthouse, the superbly-equipped kitchen on this level can provide five-star catering for private dining. To ensure maximum privacy, The Merrion Penthouse faces the hotel�s interior garden and is surrounded on all sides by subtle fencing, potted bay trees and raised beds.
