Hotel Review: Hyatt Centric The Liberties Dublin
Introduction
The Hyatt Centric The Liberties resides in quite a historical part of Dublin. It was mentioned during my stay that the building of the hotel ground held a significant number of archaeological findings that includes 11th century graffiti and a 18th century horse’s head. The hotel lobby has been able to mold and utilize this history into their designs throughout the building. In addition, local created artworks and displays are scattered across the lobby floors.
Furthermore, being that it’s Dublin, the team has built a fantastic whiskey heritage map and tour that shows over 40 distilleries and tastings along with the hotel vicinity. This was not only super indulging to groups visiting the area but shows the history and relevance to the whiskey culture here.
Room 501: King Deluxe Room
I loved the room design and elements upon arrival. The smell of the room was incredibly inviting and had this rose scent to it. The room was thoughtfully designed and incorporated, with various choices of materials and furniture scattered across the room. A distinct mid-century modern style can be best described as their room’s ambiance, and the bedroom was reflected with a stylish two-tone mirror, various side maps and an excellent choice of wood as the headboard backdrop.
The room had great natural lighting as the window panes are a singular, horizontal strip across the whole room. I found the lack of turning on the lights during the mornings to the mid afternoons. There is considerable space and it almost felt a bit suite like in terms of size. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the pillows, oh my. Incredibly comfortable and allowed me to knock out so fast during my arrival.
The tea and coffee amenities were there and there was a decent coffee maker. I wasn’t a big fan of the selections but the downstairs coffee was fantastic. i would suggest guests to utilize that selection before using the in-room choices.
The bathroom was spacious and came well equipped. A rainfall shower and a secondary shower head was great and allowed for a relaxing shower each day. A solid array of toiletries were pleasant and pleasing to the senses.
Dining
During my stay, the manager explained how their restaurant came to be and their emphasis on locally sustained food for their guests. I was able to check out both the breakfast and dinner during my stay and found the food to be incredibly delicious and well-balanced for my liking.
As a Globalist, breakfast was comped and the selections were abundant. You could go from a quick and light meal of bread and cereal to a full scrumptious Irish breakfast. The bakery section and the juices were a great start for those wishing a continental breakfast. I had the Irish breakfast a couple of times, tweaked in variations and they were all great in nature. The danish and croissant basket was another great side dish that played a complement to the hearty breakfast meal.
For dinner, the fish and chips, along with the daily special (Salmon and potatoes) was another great winner with my book, with the battered fried to perfection and the salmon skin being crispy and fragrant throughout. Ultimately, the restaurant was great at night time throughout my stay.
Conclusion
This was a fantastic hotel from end to end and one of the cultural Hyatt Centric’s I’ve been to. Underrated in style yet modern with various unique necessities, this latest addition in the Hyatt portfolio is a great hotel that is worth a high recommendation in my book. Great location and access to various tourists spots makes this a easy choice for those coming into Dublin for the first time.
At a reasonable 12,000 Hyatt points per night, this actually is a great use of points compared to the inflation price of the hotel rooms per night (250-320 euros a night).
