The Pinnacle of Prestige in Dublin
Named in honour of one of Ireland’s most influential literary figures, the James Joyce Suite draws inspiration from the writer’s enduring connection to Dublin and Ballsbridge. Born in Dublin on 2nd February 1882, Joyce briefly rented the front upstairs room at No. 60 Shelbourne Road in Ballsbridge from the McKernan family. It was from this house, on 16th June 1904, that he set out to meet Nora Barnacle, who would become his wife, a moment later immortalised in his novel, Ulysses and celebrated globally as Bloomsday. Today, the suite forms part of one of the city’s most distinguished 5-star hotels in Dublin.
The James Joyce Suite offers an unparalleled expression of residential luxury at InterContinental Dublin. Spanning 250 square metres or 2,691 square feet, this exceptional accommodation unfolds as an elegant one-bedroom residence, with the option to expand into a three-bedroom suite through seamless interconnection. This flexibility makes it ideal for guests seeking a luxurious extended stay hotel in Dublin.
Elegantly designed with bespoke furnishings, silk-covered walls, a private bar and expansive living and dining spaces, the suite offers exceptional privacy, quiet surroundings and views overlooking Ballsbridge and the Garden Terrace. Guests also enjoy complimentary access to the Wellness Area, including the 14-metre indoor pool and state-of-the-art gym. With its adaptable layout, interconnecting family rooms in Dublin can be arranged, offering additional space and discretion for larger groups.
As a true private residence, the James Joyce Suite stands as the hotel’s most elevated accommodation, created for high-level hosting, refined retreat and considered living in the heart of the city.
