Set within three iconic buildings rich with character and legacy, The College Green Hotel Dublin is woven into the very fabric of the city’s cultural and literary history. Just steps from Trinity College and the Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI), the hotel stands at the crossroads of past and present, a place where the echoes of Joyce, Yeats, Beckett, and Wilde still linger. Immortalised in classic literature and shaped by generations of storytellers, our walls hold more than history, they hold inspiration. Through our partnership with MoLI, guests are invited to experience a modern chapter in Dublin’s creative spirit, one where romance, heritage, and storytelling come vividly to life.
College Green Hotel Dublin invites guests to immerse themselves in Ireland’s greatest love stories, culminating in a private tour of the Happy Ever After exhibition at the Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI). Celebrating the many forms and complexities of love, the exhibition brings together rare literary editions, manuscripts, letters, and first-hand accounts of Irish writers and their muses. It offers a deep and often surprising look at how love has inspired some of Ireland’s most celebrated authors, including James Joyce, Edna O’Brien, W.B. Yeats, and many others.
Visitors will experience romantic excerpts from Irish fiction, poetry, and personal correspondence, rarely seen literary artefacts and early publications, audio-visual installations that bring these love stories to life, a unique space to reflect on how love has shaped Ireland’s literary legacy.
