Love the location and the setting of the hotel! It has a lovely bar where we enjoyed a light bite while watching the Ryder Cup. Breakfast was great as was the view of the water from the dining room. The room was comfortable, and spacious. Wish we had more time to spend there! It was also very convenient to the airport.

I was going to the Steelers game in Dublin and chose to stay outside the city for a bit of quiet in the evenings. Great choice! Easy trip in (from the train stop a few blocks away). I especially enjoyed the bars and restaurants in the hotel. It's a lovely place!

Just a suggestion, but the live singer in Friday 24th, who was amazing, but sang to an almost empty bar, where as, if maybe relocated to another area, perhaps the vast reception or the smaller front area bar, it would have been more inclusive..

We had a wonderful experience at the Grand Hotel. The hotel lives up to its name – elegant, welcoming, and beautifully located right on the seafront. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The staff were warm, professional, and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice, and the bar and restaurant offered delicious meals with a lovely atmosphere.

The Grand Hotel is an easy walk to the Railway Station, Malahide village and the Malahide Castle and gardens. The hotel is in the Grand Style of yesteryear with many updates. The ocean and sand dunes and beach walk is just outside the hotel. Great area to walk around in. Many guests played golf on the Malahide golf course. Malahide village has a great selection of good restaurants. Bus from the airport stopped outside the hotel.

This hotel is a living museum of history going back to King Henry VIII, Anne Bolelyn, Queen Elizabeth I. Not just historic but conveniently situated near Heathrow Airport it has become my regular stay over place before my next trip. The staff and amenities are excellent. The food selection is delicious! The cocktails unique. Highly recommend this hotel.
