Conference Hotel
The conference hotel is the Royal Marine Hotel in downtown Dun Laoghaire.
The luxury hotel which is now the Royal Marine Hotel was first built in 1863. Dating back to 1828 however, a hotel known as Hayes Hotel stood on this magnificent site overlooking Dublin Bay. The hotel was purchased by William Dargan, builder of the first Railway in Ireland between Dublin and Kingstown (Dún Laoghaire) and the new Royal Marine was built with part of the old Hayes Hotel incorporated into the new design.
The newly developed Royal Marine Hotel first opened its doors in 1865 and has been a Dublin and Dún Laoghaire Institution ever since.
The Royal Marine Hotel is regarded as one of the finest 4-star hotels in Dublin and has hosted many Heads of State, Kings, Queens and celebrities including old blues eyes Frank Sinatra, Laurel & Hardy and Charlie Chaplin, to name a few. The British Queen Victoria visited Ireland via Dún Laoghaire and enjoyed a 16-course breakfast in the hotel shortly after arriving. The Irish freedom fighter Michael Collins is believed to have hidden out in Room 210 with his partner Kitty Kiernan.
The first line wireless report on a sports event was made in July 1899 when Marconi transmitted a commentary on the Kingstown Regatta. The commentary was made on board a steamboat to the Irish Daily Express in Dublin on 14th August 1923.
The Royal Marine overlooks Dublin Bay and has direct access to Dún Laoghaire Promenade and Pier. It boasts a health club, spa, indoor pool and air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi. There is a DART train line just 2 minutes walk from the Royal Marine, which has regular services to Dublin City. From outside the hotel there is a coach service to and from Dublin Airport. The Pier Health Club has a steam room, spa bath and free weights. A range of indulgent treatments are on offer at the Sansana Spa including a rock sauna, a mud room and experience showers.
There are plenty of beautiful coastal and countryside walks, including Peoples Park, in the immediate vicinity. Free parking is available at the hotel. Notable former guests include Charlie Chaplin and Queen Victoria.

A coach service is available from Marine Road, only a 2-minute walk from the hotel, to/from Dublin Airport, taking approx. 40 minutes.
