Iveagh Garden Hotel is also Europe's first sustainable hotel, meaning it generates its own electricity, heating and cooling needs from a deep underground river located 50 meters below the property.
Let's hope that's the start of a self-sustaining new trend.
Other energy-saving measures taken by the groundbreaking Irish hotel include their gravity-fed wastewater system, their motion-activated lighting, and even their low-energy lifts. The result is a reported 78 percent decrease in their energy usage and an 82 percent reduction in carbon emissions.
So staying here isn't just an indulgence, it's a virtue.

The overall effect at Iveagh Garden Hotel is one of warmth, comfort, luxury, and perfectly-judged, understated style.
Located in Harcourt Street, an ideal base in the heart of the city, the new hotel is housed in an imposing four-story Georgian terrace and is a quick five-minute walk from St Stephen's Green, the start of all the main shopping thoroughfares.
We really loved our stay, which included breakfast and had a perfectly judged amount of service and stand away-ness.
