DUBLIN WITH REACH
AVIVA STADIUM
For a major rugby match, football fixture or live performance, Aviva Stadium puts you at the centre of the occasion, with The Grand Hotel offering a coastal base for the rest of your stay. With excellent transport links to Aviva Stadium, The Grand Hotel is perfectly located for travellers seeking a calming retreat each evening, and waking to the sounds of the sea.
Aviva Stadium hosts some of Dublin’s most anticipated sporting and music events, bringing a sense of occasion to every visit.
Rather than making the day only about the fixture or performance, stay in Malahide and shape the wider experience around it. Begin with a coastal breakfast, enjoy time in the village before travelling into Dublin, then return after the crowds to the quieter atmosphere of The Grand Hotel.
It is an ideal approach for guests who value a little distance from the city-centre rush without giving up access to the event itself.

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
The Grand Hotel brings together the ease of a coastal stay with access to the very best of Malahide, Fingal and Dublin City. Start with breakfast overlooking the water, set out for a day of discovery, then return for considered dining, a drink in the bar or a quiet evening in your room. Every stay offers the freedom to experience more, without losing sight of the moments that make time away feel special.
