What is it:
Chic, subtle and right in the heart of Dublin’s brand new cultural hub, the gibson hotel captures the essence of a vibrant city with a music pedigree that runs deep. This hotel takes inspiration from its central location and unique design – the ultimate urban retreat. Whether you’re a music lover, an art junky or a food fanatic, you can immerse yourself in Dublin’s culture in just a few short steps.
What's so special:
The Hemidemisemiquaver bar (located on the 3rd floor) is open, yet intimate. It features a 10 metre long bar and an outside private courtyard which draws its inspiration from contemporary Asian landscape design. A ‘stone rug’ running from the bar right out into the courtyard space brings the outside in to create a natural flow. Neon coloured bucket seats complete the look. This is the perfect spot to soak up the atmosphere before a gig, or keep the party going with a cocktail or two!
