ON YOUR DOORSTEP
MALAHIDE CASTLE & GARDENS
Malahide Castle & Gardens is one of Dublin’s most memorable places to visit, and it is only a short walk from The Grand Hotel. Step from the village into sweeping parkland, centuries of story and beautifully kept gardens, then return to the coast for a well-earned evening.
A historic landmark dating back to the 12th century, Malahide Castle was home to the Talbot family for nearly 800 years before passing into State care in 1975. Following extensive renovations completed in 2012, the castle now welcomes thousands of visitors each year.
Set within 260 acres of parkland, Malahide Castle & Gardens offers something different with every visit. Explore rooms shaped by generations of family life, wander through woodland paths and spend time in the walled gardens, where seasonal planting brings colour and texture throughout the year.
Malahide Castle is close enough to enjoy without planning an entire day around travel, leaving time for a leisurely lunch in Malahide Village or a walk along the marina. For couples, families and curious travellers alike, it is an essential part of any stay in Malahide.

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.
