Festive feasting, Christmas cocktails and a fabulously good time
Jean-Georges at The Leinster
Christmas dining reaches its most elegant expression at Jean-Georges on the rooftop. Curated by acclaimed chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, festive menus blend French finesse with seasonal Irish ingredients, served against sweeping views of Dublin’s skyline. From long lunches to celebratory evening feasts, this is Christmas dining designed to be savoured.
The Collins Club
On the ground floor, The Collins Club offers an intimate, more moody counterpoint. A richly atmospheric cocktail bar where the festive season is marked by perfectly crafted drinks.
Stay The Night
Extend the experience with an overnight stay in one of our 55 rooms and suites. Thoughtfully designed with layered textures, bold details, and considered comfort, each space offers a calm retreat after a festive evening. Wake to a slower morning in Georgian Dublin, with Merrion Square, the best of Dublin’s galleries, and Grafton Street just moments away.
