Recently refurbished, The Alex has a whole new look which will win your heart over. This article will give you a glimpse into what The Alex is all about and what you can expect when visiting our 4-star premiere boutique hotel.
History and Unique Style
The Alex: ’Where Style, Luxury and Comfort Meet’.
The Alex is one of Dublin’s most uniquely designed hotel which makes us and the experience we offer distinctive. There is a 1950s industrial look and vibe throughout the hotel from the lobby, to our bedrooms, to the Carriage Restaurant and more. Our inspiration for the 1950s design comes from the history of the neighbourhood which was a former busy working-class area with trams passing down Fenian Street, which is now home to the Alex Hotel. The 1950s industrial look is evident throughout the design and style of the hotel – train arrival boards over the elevators, the seating in the lobby and the Carriage is fluted and to top off our railway theme, our meeting rooms are named after famous train journeys across the globe. Our style is unique, quirky and one of a kind – be sure to check us out on your next stay in the Big Smoke!
