This hotel occupies a traditional building that was constructed in 1852. It was bought in 1992 by two members of the famous rock band U2 and has undergone a complete restoration program. It has now been transformed into a luxury hotel. The lobby is small and maintains many of the property's original features, such as stone floors and wood panels. Adjoining the lobby there is a study room with extensive seating and arts-and-crafts style windows with original glass and oak paneling, giving the room a warm feel. The large guest rooms are in exceptional condition. All rooms have wooden floors and custom-designed oak furniture and are decorated in rich cardinal colours. The "Tea Room" restaurant is situated on the ground floor of the hotel and serves modern, contemporary food. There is also a very popular bar called "The Octagon." This is an impressive hotel, offering only the highest standard of service. It is particularly favoured by rock stars and models.
