DUBLIN WITH REACH
CROKE PARK
From landmark sporting fixtures to major live shows, Croke Park brings together some of Ireland’s most memorable occasions, easily reached from The Grand Hotel Malahide. With museum tours and the 17-storey high Skyline walk along Croke Parks roof, this historic Irish landmark is an essential stop on any visit.
Croke Park is more than a stadium. It is a place where match days, concerts and big occasions take on a particular energy, drawing visitors from across Ireland and beyond.
Staying in Malahide offers a different way to experience the event: travel into Dublin for the atmosphere, then return afterwards to the coast rather than remaining in the city centre.
Make time for dinner before you leave, arrange your travel in advance and let The Grand Hotel provide a welcoming base at either end of the day. It is a thoughtful choice for couples, groups and event-goers seeking a little more space around the occasion.

ON YOUR DOORSTEP
BEGIN IN MALAHIDE
Some of the area’s most memorable experiences begin just moments from the hotel. Wander through Malahide Village, where independent shops, cafés and the marina create an easy-going coastal atmosphere, or step into centuries of local story at Malahide Castle & Gardens. With the village, castle grounds and shoreline close by, there is no need to travel far to make a day feel well spent.
SEA AIR & OPEN ROADS
FOLLOW THE COAST
Beyond Malahide, the Fingal coastline opens out into long sandy beaches, harbour towns and sea-view walks. Head to Portmarnock for an expansive beach stroll, hire a bike and explore at your own pace, or make the journey to Howth for harbour dining and dramatic cliffside views. It is an invitation to take the scenic route, with every turn offering a new perspective on Dublin’s north coast.
EXPLORE FINGAL
GARDENS, ESTATES, & COASTLINE
Take the time to explore the wider character of Fingal, where historic estates meet open parkland and the Irish Sea. Discover the gardens and coastal views of Ardgillan Castle, step back in time at Newbridge House & Farm, or travel north to Skerries Mills for a glimpse of traditional craft and coastal village life. Each offers an easy day out from Malahide, with space to wander, pause and see a different side of Dublin.
DUBLIN WITHIN REACH
MAKE A DAY OF THE CITY
Dublin City is close enough to enjoy at your own pace, whether you are planning a family day out, attending a major sporting occasion or taking in the capital’s best-known sights. Visit Dublin Zoo in Phoenix Park, experience the atmosphere of Croke Park or Aviva Stadium, or see the city through a guided DoDublin tour. When the day is done, return to The Grand Hotel and the calmer rhythm of the coast.
YOUR MALAHIDE BASE
A STAY MADE FOR SEEING MORE
