Overview
Within strolling distance of Temple Bar and close to the Grand Canal, Wilder Townhouse hotel is a handsome red-brick retreat on a sleepy residential street in Dublin. Built during the Victorian era, its name nods to a time when Oscar Wilde once resided in the Irish capital. The dapper design would make any dandy proud: jewel-coloured velvet chairs, polished parquet floors and botanical-print wallpaper, with vintage silk Ottomans, wood-panelled walls and original fireplaces in some of the suites. The chic Gin & Tea Rooms stock an elaborate array of Irish gins and whiskeys – just the tonic for perfecting those erudite Wilde quotes. Sláinte!

Mr and Mrs Smith reviews
Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this boutique hotel in Ireland and unpacked their first-edition folios, a full account of their city break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside the Wilder Townhouse in Dublin…
Away from the Temple Bar drag but within swift strolling distance for when the Guinness calls, the Wilder Townhouse is the sort of place Oscar Wilde would have loved to call home. The stylish sanctuary near St Stephen’s Green is in a listed red-brick Victorian building, originally intended as a home for retired governesses. There’s no one making you do your homework today, though: just in-the-know staff who will impart insider information about their beloved city. Bountiful breakfasts will equip budding flâneurs for enlightening strides around the streets in the manner of Leopold Bloom, and the Gin & Tea Rooms are a welcoming retreat to return to. It won’t come as a surprise to hear that they serve lots of gin, but its whiskey selection is something to settle in for, too. There’s no restaurant, but cheese boards and charcuterie platters are served amid the parquet floors, botanical wallpaper and velvet chairs of the bar, or out on the lantern-lit terrace. It’ll be a top morning after a night here.
