Best for Generation X

THE HENDRICK SMITHFIELD

Over 250 artworks — Irish artists, including Maser and Vanessa Power, alongside global names such as Shepard Fairey and Taki 183 — are displayed throughout this Smithfield three-star. Tech and smart thinking are at the fore too, with check-in by tablet and guest rooms with clever layouts: expect intuitive storage nooks, and an elevated single ‘buzz bunk’ bed in the triple rooms. While it appeals to Instagram-savvy travellers, it’s also rooted in the local neighbourhood, as evidenced from its cocktails (mine’s a Jameson Black Barrel whiskey sour) and sandwiches from Dublin’s Delicious Food Co. ROOMS: Doubles from €84 (£73), room only. hendrickdublin.ie
