The Alex Hotel is a boutique hotel at 41-47 Fenian Street, Dublin 2, in the Dublin city center, Ireland. The hotel is just under 15 km (9.3 mi) from Dublin Airport.
The Alex is part of O’Callaghan Collection, a group of four Dublin hotels. Its design is Art Deco-inspired and draws on the history of the neighborhood, once a working-class area with trams running along the street outside. The facade, interiors, and meeting room names all refer to that heritage. The hotel sits just off Merrion Square, a 4-minute walk from the National Gallery of Ireland, 12 minutes from Trinity College, and 3 minutes from Pearse Station. It is described as Ireland’s first Green Key certified hotel, with responsible linen policies, energy-efficient systems, and waste reduction initiatives.
