DUBLIN WITHIN REACH
DUBLIN CITY CENTRE
From historic streets and Georgian squares to world-famous attractions, lively pubs and independent shops, Dublin City Centre offers something for every kind of visitor.
Staying at The Grand Hotel gives you the best of both worlds: the relaxed atmosphere of coastal Malahide with Dublin City Centre close enough for a day of sightseeing. Explore the capital before returning to the coast for a quieter evening.
Start your exploration of Dublin City Centre around Trinity College and Grafton Street, where historic architecture, shops, cafés and street performers create one of the city’s most recognisable areas. St Stephen’s Green provides a peaceful green space just moments from the bustle of the city.
Continue towards Dublin Castle and Christchurch Cathedral before exploring Temple Bar, the River Liffey and the Ha’penny Bridge. History is everywhere in Dublin City Centre, but so is modern Dublin, with restaurants, galleries, music venues and independent businesses creating a constantly changing city experience.
For first-time visitors, Dublin City Centre is also the starting point for many of the capital’s most popular attractions. Guinness Storehouse, Jameson Distillery, the National Museum and other landmarks can all form part of a city itinerary.
The beauty of exploring Dublin City Centre from The Grand Hotel is that you do not have to stay in the middle of the city. After a full day discovering Dublin, return to Malahide and enjoy the space, sea air and slower pace of the coast.

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.
