Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin

Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin

10/10 Excellent
"This is hands down one of the best hotels I ever stayed at, and I've been staying at hotels in several cities around the world. The room was spacious, clean and very modern. Bathroom was excellent with a really nice shower. Staff very friendly and service minded. The breakfast had all you can ask for and everything was fresh and tasted amazing. The location is good, close to airport transfer and one of the tram lines. O'Connell Street is quite a busy street with restaurants and shopping. A five minute walk southwards from the hotel you'll reach river Liffey and a bridge that'll get you to the other part of the city where most of the museums and tourist attractions are located. If you walk O'Connell Street north of the hotel you'll experience a bit rougher part of the city, can't really recommend that since there's not much to see or do for tourists in that direction. Anyways, it's a brilliant hotel that I'll recommend to everyone who is thinking of going to Ireland. I'll 100% stay at this hotel again the next time I'm visiting Dublin."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Dalkey cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Dalkey vary, but you can find a great deal from £69 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Dalkey is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Dalkey for beaches is along the coastline, particularly near White Rock Beach and Vico Baths.

White Rock Beach is a lovely, secluded spot, often accessed via a scenic walk down a winding path. It's a quieter option compared to some of the busier beaches further north. Vico Baths, a little further south, offers a unique swimming experience with natural rock pools and stunning views of Dublin Bay, popular with local swimmers.

Couples looking for a relaxing coastal escape will find this area ideal. You can enjoy strolls along the shore, take in the sea air, and find some peaceful spots for picnics.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Dalkey?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Dalkey is during July and August. These months offer the warmest weather, with average temperatures around 18-20°C, creating ideal conditions for enjoying Dalkey's coastal charm and the surrounding waters.

During this period, the extended daylight hours mean plenty of time for walks along the coast, exploring Dalkey Island, or simply relaxing by the sea. All local attractions are fully operational, and you'll find a lively buzz around the village and its eateries. Families might particularly appreciate these months for beach outings and outdoor activities.

As another option, May is a fantastic alternative. The weather is pleasantly mild, typically around 15-17°C, which is still lovely for coastal strolls and exploring. It can be easier to secure reservations at Dalkey's charming beach hotels and enjoy a more relaxed pace.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Dalkey with Expedia?
One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards programme—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Dalkey beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.



*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
What beach activities should we do in Dalkey?
The best beach activities in Dalkey revolve around swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding at Vico Baths or Coliemore Harbour.

Vico Baths is a well-known spot for sea swimming, offering changing facilities and steps directly into the water. It's a popular place for a refreshing dip, particularly for those who enjoy open-water swimming. You'll find it along Vico Road, a scenic coastal route. This area is great for couples looking for a picturesque and invigorating experience.

Coliemore Harbour is another excellent option for water activities. From here, you can launch kayaks or paddleboards to explore the coastline, or even take a boat trip to Dalkey Island. The harbour is a working pier, so you'll see local boats and activity.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Dalkey as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Dalkey for you.
