There are 335 rooms at the Clayton Ballsbridge – spacious and well-equipped, with TVs, tea and coffeemaking facilities plus fluffy duvets and hypo-allergenic pillows so you can get super-cosy after an exhausting day at the poker tables. Night owls and online grinders will appreciate that in-room desks have free-standing lamps and there is free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel.
In the mornings, you can roll out of bed and mosey down to the breakfast room at the GrandStand Restaurant where a traditional fry-up awaits you or the Vitality Breakfast Selection if you’re after a less carb-heavy option. The hotel even has its own fitness centre if you’re really feeling guilty.
If you miss breakfast, don’t panic – light snacks and a carvery are available all day so you can always grab something before you head over to the RDS. Dinner is served in the Grandstand Bar & Restaurant until 9.15pm. Room service is also available from 6.30am to 9.15pm and the bar is open until around midnight for late-night revellers.
If you fancy eating out, you have a huge choice of some 30 restaurants that all lie within a few minutes’ walk from the hotel. That includes Dublin favourites like The Bridge 1859, The Lobster Pot, Al Boschetto, Roly’s Bistro, the Baan Thai Ballsbridge and the Girl and the Goose Restaurant.
If you fancy a spot of sight-seeing, the Clayton Ballsbridge has super-handy transport links to the city centre with buses stopping right outside the hotel and the Sandymount DART station just five minutes away. If you have driven to this year’s Irish Open, the hotel also has ample underground car parking at a £12 per night rate for guests.
MainEventTravel.com also still has a number of rooms available dotted throughout Dublin, many at rates lower than most major online travel providers, but they are going quick so if you haven't booked yet get a move on!
