  • View Art at the Merrion
    Press Information THE ART OF THE MERRION Press Information: Sarah Glavey The Merrion, Dublin Tel: (353) 1 603 0600 Fax: (353) 1 603 0700 Email: marketing@merrionhotel.com The spectacular collection of 19 th and 20 th Century Irish art hung throughout The Merrion, Dublin’s most luxurious 5-star hotel, is widely considered to be one of the most important in Ireland. Created from four magnificently restored Listed Georgian townhouses, the grace and elegance of The Merrion’s interior provides the perfect setting for the paintings. The result is a dramatic and successful marriage of classical architecture and contemporary art. True to the spirit of 18 th century arts patronage, Martin Mooney, one of Ireland’s finest young painters, was commissioned to paint a series of works for the elegant neo- classical stairwell in The Merrion’s Front Hall. The Front Hall remains much as it would have been when the house was built in the mid 18 th century. Plain white walls show off the original cornices and plasterwork, leaving Mooney’s murals as the main decorative feature. These, in subtle, warm colours, depict imaginary classical ruins, buildings and architectural details. The pronounced architectural element of Mooney’s style is particularly apt for The Merrion’s Georgian interior. After attending the University of Ulster, Mooney studied at Brighton Polytechnic, followed by a Post Graduate Degree at the Slade School of Fine Art, London. His work has been widely exhibited in both one-man and group exhibitions at galleries including The Solomon Gallery, Dublin; Waterman Fine Art, London; Theo Waddington Fine Art, London; The Royal Academy, London and The Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin.

He was one of the fust people, his father didn't speak to him, you know, when he said he was going into aviation, to an airfield out in Dublin airport and he had a good job in the civil service at the time, his father thought he was mad you know. If planes were meant to fly, you know. 9. MM: Yeah a different time wasn't it.

  • View Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud
    PRESS INFORMATION RESTAURANT PATRICK GUILBAUD AT THE MERRION Press Information: Marketing The Merrion, Dublin Tel: ( 353 ) 1 603 0600 Fax: ( 353 ) 1 603 0700 Email: marketing@merrionhotel.com Dublin’s celebrated Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud moved from its former location off Lower Baggot Street, into the city’s most luxurious 5-Star Luxury hotel, The Merrion, which opened in October 1997. Twenty-nine years ago, following a successful career with his own restaurant in Cheshire, Patrick Guilbaud opened Europe’s first purpose built restaurant in Dublin in St James’s Place. From the outset, the restaurant, designed by Arthur Gibney & Partners, with its elegant, airy atrium and white walls hung with contemporary art, continually set the standards by which others are judged, and won every major food award in the world. Patrick Guilbaud once again joined forces with Arthur Gibney & Partners to create a spectacular new home for the restaurant in The Main House of The Merrion. The Main House is set within four magnificent Georgian townhouses on Upper Merrion Street. Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud occupies the ground floor of the former 21 Upper Merrion Street, built in the 1760’s by Lord Monck. The original entrance to the house is now the entrance to the restaurant. In addition to the Main House, The Merrion features a specially commissioned Garden Wing, arranged around a large private, 18th century style, landscaped garden, which has been designed by Ireland’s most respected garden designer, Jim Reynolds. Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud looks into this garden. Since re-locating to The Merrion, Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud has continued to build on its reputation as Ireland's finest dining restaurant.
