The Iveagh Garden Hotel in Dublin hosts conferences, board meetings, product launches, fashion shows, book launches, private celebrations and drinks receptions for up to 220 guests. The four-star hotel stands on Harcourt Street, a short walk from Grafton Street and beside the Iveagh Gardens. It opened in February 2018 and sells both business events and weddings.
Seminars and company events
The official site names three event spaces: the Iveagh Suite, Elle's Suite and Suite 65. It lists the formats the hotel handles, from a board meeting or a conference to a product launch or a fashion show, and it gives 220 guests as the ceiling for the whole offer. Room-by-room capacities are not published online, so ask the events team for the room plan and the layouts available before you shortlist a space. Meeting enquiries go through a form on the corporate page, which also covers company rates for travelers who stay 60 nights or more per year. A multi-day programme is easy to set up here because delegates can sleep and meet under one roof.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel runs a dedicated weddings section with its own enquiry form and a virtual tour. It also lists private celebrations and drinks receptions among the events it hosts. Wedding capacities and packages are not given online, so confirm the room, the number of seated guests and the evening schedule with the team early in your planning.
Rooms and capacities
The Iveagh Suite, Elle's Suite and Suite 65 are the meeting and event spaces named on the site. The largest figure the hotel states is 220 guests, for the event offer as a whole. Elle's Bistro and Elle's Bar are the hotel's two dining and drinking venues, and a Botanical Terrace appears in the dining section of the website. Ask whether any of them can be added to a reception.
Accommodation
Bedrooms are offered in several categories: Deluxe King, Superior, Deluxe Townhouse Double, City Pod and a Presidential Suite. The corporate page describes the rooms with bespoke joinery, ample desk space and laptop-sized safes, which suits delegates who work between sessions. A hotel guest directory and a concierge service are listed on the site.
Catering
Elle's Bistro serves brunch and afternoon tea, and Elle's Bar serves cocktails. Catering terms for private events are not detailed online. Ask whether menus are set by the hotel kitchen and how dietary needs are handled for a group of your size.
History and setting
The hotel opened in February 2018 and presents itself as a low-carbon, sustainable hotel, a theme it develops on a dedicated page. It sits on Harcourt Street in the Saint Kevin's area of Dublin 2, close to the Iveagh Gardens, where guests can walk between sessions.
Getting there
The hotel states that a Luas stop is just steps from its front door. It lists Dublin Airport, the Convention Centre, Bord Gais, Croke Park and the 3Arena as easy to reach from there, and Grafton Street is a short walk away. Parking is described on a dedicated page of the website.
