Located in Dublin’s fashionable St Stephens Green district, the Fitzwilliam’s Hotel’s interior treatment mixes the solidity of local baronial architecture with the modernity of contemporary Ireland. The lobby with its stone walls, open fire, Juliet balcony and quirky “family” portraits is reminiscent of the grand hall in a Celtic castle. The area’s connection with horse racing (silks) and the local flora (moss, lichen, heather) have informed the choice of colours used throughout the hotel.
