The Westbury, Dublin: The Taylor Swift-approved hotel has had a stunning makeover

Taylor Swift. Audrey Hepburn. Marlon Brando. Pavarotti. Pele. David Bowie. Bob Dylan. What do these icons all have in common? Not much. Except that they have all, at some point or another, stayed at The Westbury Hotel in Dublin.

Situated in prime position for shopping and sightseeing — yet tucked away from the main tourist street — The Westbury has a grandeur to it that makes it feel much older than it actually is. With a relatively short life of just 40 years, The Westbury opened in 1984, marking Pascal Vincent Doyle’s second hotel opening in Dublin. You may recognise the hotelier’s name from The Doyle Collection’s London outposts: The Marylebone, The Bloomsbury and The Kensington.
