                    The Davenport Hotel is in the heart of Dublin, 
                    the busy capital city of Ireland. The spectacular façade 
                    of the hotel, originally Merrion Hall, was designed in 1863 
                    by Alfred G. Jones. It was restored to become the magnificent 
                    façade of The Davenport Hotel, which opened in 1993. 
                   
                  The hotel is right on the edge of Merrion Square 
                    in the heart of Dublin and close by The Mont Clare and Alexander 
                    Hotels. Dublin's principle cultural, business, shopping and 
                    entertainment districts are all within a 5 minute walk.
