Why we picked this hotel
The appeal is in the balance: apartment freedom, hotel service, riverside location and enough shared spaces to make the building feel social without becoming noisy

Our take on the stay
Bob
What I love about Zanzibar Locke is how you can wake up by the River Liffey, cross Ha’Penny Bridge in seconds, and still return to a space that feels calm and lived in.

About the destination
Dublin
Dublin is a city that balances Georgian elegance with a lively, down-to-earth character, where historic streets, traditional pubs, and independent cafés sit side by side. Around the Liberties and the western edge of the city centre, old distilleries, markets, and creative spaces give the area a distinctly local feel. Zanzibar Locke is set along the River Liffey in this part of the city, placing you within easy walking distance of Dublin’s cultural landmarks and everyday rhythm.
