St. George hotel
The St George Hotel is a Georgian property. The building dates from 1750 and is the work of John Ensor, famous Dublin architect, who designed the entirety of Parnell Square. It became a well-known landmark in 1888, as Conarchy's Hotel. In 1907, it was renamed the St George following the wedding of one of the Cornarchy family to a member of the St George family. The hotel had fallen into disrepair by 1979, but the present owners restored it and have returned to Dublin a fine Georgian house open to the public. The lobby has a wooden reception desk and, behind it, a huge, white, arch-shaped door decorated above with a stained glass window. The guest lounge, on the left, features original plasterwork, and is enhanced by details such as crystal chandeliers, antique mirrors and marble fireplaces.
