Best for quiet escapes

PEMBROKE HALL

This former home in the Dublin 4 district has been rebooted as a gorgeously appointed getaway. The 12 en suite rooms see Danish designer Helle Moyna wrap a Scandi sensibility around restored fireplaces, fanlights, cornicing and other details, plus there are ethereal pops of colour via paintings by Irish artist Lola Donoghue. Clever details include bespoke steel-framed wardrobeand-desk combos, or coiled wool throws and cushion covers nodding to Irish motifs. There’s no bar or restaurant but plenty of options a stone’s throw from the hotel.

ROOMS: Doubles from €105 (£91), room only. pembroke-hall.ie
