Large group hotel booking in Dublin starts with price and availability. Fáilte Ireland research puts the Dublin hotel average daily rate at about €174, with occupancy above 80%, so short-notice blocks of 25 rooms are hard to place. Coach access is the second factor. Bus gates on the Liffey quays at Bachelors Walk and Aston Quay restrict general traffic from 7:00 to 19:00 every day, which changes how a coach reaches hotels near O'Connell Street and Temple Bar.
Ireland has no city tourist tax as of 2026, which keeps the per-person cost simple.
The 10 hotels listed on this page were chosen for group business: 262 to 502 rooms each, 5★ and 4★, with a group desk that handles rooming lists and one contract per block. The largest blocks for a full coach in Dublin are at Clayton Hotel Burlington Road (502 rooms, Dublin 4), Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin (404 rooms, O'Connell Street) and Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge (334 rooms, Ballsbridge). Hotels of this size can usually hold 25 to 50 twin rooms on one contract, which is what a 45 to 50 passenger coach needs.
Corporate travel accommodation in Dublin works the same way. Incentive groups, conference delegations and company trips get a group rate, one rooming list and one invoice, and the same hotels serve both markets. Hotels with meeting space on this page include Clayton Hotel Burlington Road, Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin, Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge.
Which is the best hotel for a group in Dublin depends on the itinerary more than on the lobby: coach access, parking and the distance from the center decide how the day runs. Compare the hotels below by district and distance, add the ones that fit to your request, and the desk confirms group availability and the rate for your dates within 48 hours.
The table shows group hotel rates in Dublin for a twin room with breakfast, in EUR. Dublin is usually the highest-priced city on an Ireland coach tour, so some itineraries keep Dublin to one or two nights and place other nights in Kilkenny or Galway. High-demand dates include St Patrick's Day (17 March), Six Nations rugby weekends in February and March, and summer stadium concerts at Croke Park and the Aviva. See how group hotel rates work.
| 3★ low | 3★ high | 4★ low | 4★ high |
|---|---|---|---|
| €115–155 | €155–215 | €145–195 | €195–275 |
Indicative only. Final group rates depend on dates, room mix, board and release terms and are confirmed in the desk's proposal. Low season: Nov–Mar (excl. St Patrick's week, Six Nations weekends and holidays). High season: Apr–Oct (stadium concert and match dates quoted separately).

For the London section, coaches are available from our sister company: charter bus in London.
A 50-guest coach group needs about 25 twin rooms plus singles for the driver and guide. Hotels that accept this size are mostly large 4★ properties in the Docklands, Ballsbridge and near the airport, plus some 3★ hotels west of the center. Because Dublin occupancy is high all year, fewer hotels release a full block on busy dates. We confirm which ones can.
Some hotels in Ballsbridge, near the airport and on the city edge have space for a coach, while most central hotels do not. In the center, the coach sets down at the door or a signed coach stop, then parks in a council coach bay (€9 per hour, 2-hour maximum) or at the NTA Coach Park in the Docklands. We confirm the setup for each hotel.
Block Dublin rooms about 12 months ahead for May and June where possible. Hotel occupancy in Dublin runs above 80%, and summer stadium concerts at Croke Park and the Aviva can take most rooms in a district on show nights. Inside 6 months, we usually suggest splitting the group between two hotels or placing part of the stay outside the city.
Yes. We source Dublin with the rest of your Ireland or Britain route, for example Kilkenny, Galway, Edinburgh or London, and issue one proposal, one contract and one invoice. Deposits, release dates and cancellation terms for every hotel are listed in one schedule, so your team tracks all rooming list deadlines in one place.
No. As of 2026 neither Dublin nor Ireland charges a tourist tax on hotel stays, for individual guests or groups. Irish VAT is included in hotel rates. The main extras to budget are coach parking, at €9 per hour in council bays, and breakfast where a hotel quotes room only. Our indicative rates already include breakfast.
For a group of 40 to 50 people, the most realistic blocks in Dublin are at the largest hotels on this page: Clayton Hotel Burlington Road, Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin and Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge. Groups of 15 to 25 rooms have more choice, including smaller 4★ hotels closer to the center. We confirm availability, group rate and release date per hotel for your dates.
Yes. Business groups, incentive trips and conference delegations in Dublin are booked like tour groups: one request, a group rate, one contract and one invoice, with meeting rooms or a dinner venue added where needed. Send the dates and the number of rooms and the desk returns a proposal within 48 hours (working days).
No fee to request. One contact and one contract for every hotel on the tour, from 20 to 500 rooms.
