O’Connell Street is located 350 metres and just 3 minutes’ walk from the hotel. The capital’s main street is home to the ‘Spire’, a 120m high striking and innovative monument in the middle of the street just across from the historic GPO. O’Connell Street is at the heart of Dublin city and is walking distance of attractions such as Trinity College, Temple Bar and Dublin’s main retail high streets, Grafton Street and Henry Street.
Temple Bar is just a short walk across the Liffey and is one of the main cultural quarters in the city. It is very popular for eating, socialising and having a great night out. This social quarter is situated within a 10-minute stroll from Maldron Hotel Parnell Square. The famous Irish pubs, many of which have been open since the eighteenth century, are known to serve the best pints of Guinness in the world. There are several theories about the origin of the Temple Bar name, but one of the most commonly believed ones it that it comes from a Temple family, who lived there in the mid 1600s. Another theory is that the quarter is named after the Temple region in London.
