ESCAPE TO DUBLIN FOR THE MAY HOLIDAYS

April 2004

With two May bank holidays fast approaching, why not take advantage of the long weekends and take a short break to nearby Dublin. With The Merrion hotel's great value packages over the bank holiday weekends, guests can enjoy unparalleled luxury in the perfect location - right in the middle of Ireland's most vibrant city.

The 'May At The Merrion' package, which costs €550 (approx. GBP£365) for three nights accommodation in a deluxe double Garden Wing room, is available for a Friday or Saturday arrival on both UK bank holiday weekends, May 3rd and May 31st. Guests will receive a bottle of champagne on arrival to start their holiday weekend with a bang, and that's only the beginning! Relax in the Tethra Spa or enjoy a sumptuous meal at one of the Merrion's two restaurants, the Cellar Restaurant or Michelin-starred Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud.

Enjoy the warmer weather relaxing in The Merrion's private gardens - the only such gardens in an inner city hotel. When the sights and sounds of Dublin beckon, guests are just a short stroll from Dublin's many attractions, restaurants, shops and bars. For families, the first bank holiday weekend will offer a fun fair in Merrion Square just across the road from the hotel to keep the kids entertained.

This exclusive offer is valid for arrival on 30th April - 1st May or 28th - 29th May on a room only basis, is inclusive of value added tax at 13.5% and there is no service charge at The Merrion. A range of other packages are also available at The Merrion, Dublin.
