Where Dublin Slows Down and Your Getaway Begins
Just beyond the pace of the city, nestled in four acres of elegant gardens, St. Helen’s offers a rare kind of retreat. Once a grand residence, now a five-star heritage hotel, the estate has evolved with quiet confidence – welcoming guests from around the world while staying true to its timeless character.
Step inside and discover spaces made for celebration and stillness alike: light-filled rooms overlooking manicured lawns, the glass-roofed Orangerie humming with conversation, and the Pembroke Suite ready to host moments worth remembering.
Here, classic architecture meets contemporary comfort. Whether you’re here for a wedding, a conference, or a quiet escape, St. Helen’s brings you close to Dublin’s cultural heart – and gives you space to breathe just outside it.
