Ireland
Dublin’s poker venues include the RDS in Ballsbridge and the Bonnington on Swords Road in Whitehall. Match your hotel to the exact series venue: these are different areas of the city.
Practical: venue access. Budget: usual price positioning, not guaranteed savings on your dates. Luxury: five-star. Confirm rooms, rates and terms with the booking provider.
Practical · 4-star
A four-star Ballsbridge hotel near the RDS, useful for returning to your room between sessions.
Venue access: On Merrion Road beside the RDS campus. Practical for an RDS event; a Bonnington event on the northside requires a separate journey.
Before booking: A practical location rather than a promised lowest rate. Compare the full room and cancellation terms for your dates.
For this venue: Royal Dublin Society
Practical · 4-star
A four-star hotel on Swords Road in Whitehall, the northside location of the Dublin Poker Festival conference venue.
Venue access: Practical for the Bonnington stop. This is a different part of Dublin from the RDS in Ballsbridge; check your series venue before booking.
Before booking: The Trip.com listing is an ordinary hotel booking link, not a confirmed tournament room block or event rate.
For this venue: Bonnington Hotel Conference Centre
Budget
A city-centre option from a value-focused hotel brand, on Townsend Street near Trinity College.
Venue access: A city-centre base separate from both the RDS in Ballsbridge and the Bonnington in Whitehall. Plan the journey for your actual venue.
Before booking: Budget describes the brand positioning, not a guaranteed saving. Compare the room rate plus transport; no event rate or availability is promised.
Luxury · 5-star
A five-star hotel on Simmonscourt Road in Ballsbridge, listed among the RDS accommodation partners.
Venue access: Close to the RDS campus in Ballsbridge. This proximity does not apply to Bonnington events on Dublin’s northside.
Before booking: This is a luxury alternative, not a confirmed Irish Open host hotel or event-rate offer. Check your room type and booking terms.
Dublin Poker Festival uses the Bonnington conference venue on Swords Road, Whitehall, Dublin 9, D09 C7F8. This is on Dublin’s northside, separate from the Irish Open’s RDS in Ballsbridge. Start with your series venue before comparing hotels.
For an RDS event, the campus is on Merrion Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4; its guide lists Lansdowne Road and Sandymount DART stations. Those directions are not for the Bonnington on Swords Road. Plan airport connections and late returns around the actual hotel and venue addresses.
Herbert Park in Ballsbridge offers paths and a duck pond near the RDS area. Check seasonal opening hours and your route back. From the Bonnington, treat this as a separate city outing for a longer free block, not a quick tournament break.
