The Merrion hotel occupies four Georgian townhouses dating back to 1760.

Restaurant Patrick Gilbaud is the Merrion's gourmet restaurant, with high ceilings, modern paintings and English speaking French staff. Fish features widely on its a la carte menu and its fixed price menu offers a fusion of French and Irish dishes. The Cellar Restaurant is a semi formal dining room with white vaulted ceiling and Irish tapestries. It serves cold buffets, cooked to order breakfasts and an a la carte lunch and dinner of Irish dishes. The Cellar Bar, in the original wine cellars, is open all day for drinks, upscale lunch and light meals in the evening. Filled with sofas, armchairs, a roaring turf fire in the winter, or terrace seating overlooking the garden in the summer, the Drawing Rooms are a comfortable place to enjoy continental breakfast, snacks, drinks and afternoon tea.
