Winter in Dublin is best enjoyed at your own pace. When you stay at PREMIER SUITES Dublin Ballsbridge, you’re in one of the city’s most peaceful areas, surrounded by leafy streets, elegant houses, and local gems that reward slow exploration. This guide helps you make the most of the cooler months, from walks through nearby parks to evenings spent in cosy pubs, while enjoying the comfort of your spacious suite.

Stay Warm and Comfortable

This winter, PREMIER SUITES Dublin Ballsbridge invites you to unwind with the Christmas in Dublin, Made Special offer. You’ll receive 10% off accommodation and a complimentary festive hamper filled with seasonal favourites like bread, milk, cereal, orange juice, biscuits, and a little surprise for children.

It’s a thoughtful touch that makes your suite feel even more like home. After a day out in the crisp winter air, return to your Seventh Heaven bed, stretch out, and enjoy the quiet comfort that only a serviced apartment can provide.

Start with a Stroll Through Herbert Park

Just a few minutes’ walk from your suite, Herbert Park is one of Dublin’s most beautiful green spaces. In winter, the park takes on a calm, reflective atmosphere. Ducks gather on the pond, the trees are bare but striking, and locals sip takeaway coffees as they walk their dogs.

Bring a warm drink from Lolly and Cooks on nearby Upper Baggot Street and take your time wandering. The circular walking route around the lake is just over 1 km, making it ideal for a slow morning walk or a gentle afternoon stretch.

Warm Up in a Local Café

After your walk, head for a coffee and something sweet. Ballsbridge has plenty of independent cafés worth lingering in:

• Roly’s Café and Bakery – a local favourite serving scones, soups, and hearty brunches
• Eathos – bright and modern, with great coffee and fresh seasonal dishes
• The Cake Café – slightly further into the city, but worth the trip for its homemade bakes and charming courtyard

Each spot offers a warm escape from the chill, perfect for reading, working remotely, or simply people-watching.

Discover Local History

Winter is a great time to step indoors and explore Dublin’s cultural side. Ballsbridge and its surrounding areas are packed with interesting stops:

• The National Print Museum on Haddington Road gives a fascinating look at Ireland’s print history
• Number Twenty Nine, a restored Georgian house near Merrion Square, offers a glimpse into 18th-century Dublin life
• For sports fans, Aviva Stadium tours show you behind the scenes of Irish rugby and football’s home ground

Each experience is close by, easily reached on foot or by a short bus or Dart ride.

Pubs to Settle In For the Night

Nothing beats an evening spent in a warm Dublin pub after a cold winter day. Ballsbridge has a few of the best in the city:

• The Bridge 1859 – lively, welcoming, and known for its great food and pints
• Searson’s – a classic pub on Baggot Street with open fires and plenty of space to relax
• The Old Spot – a modern gastropub perfect for a slow Sunday lunch or quiet evening drink

Each one has that unmistakable Dublin charm, with friendly locals, great conversation, and comforting food to match.

A Base That Feels Like Home

When you’ve finished exploring, head back to your suite and unwind in comfort. Unlike a traditional hotel room, your suite at PREMIER SUITES Dublin Ballsbridge gives you space to relax and recharge properly. You can cook a simple dinner in your fully equipped kitchen, watch a film, or plan your next day’s outing.

The location also makes it easy to explore other parts of Dublin at your own pace. Hop on a bus into the city centre for the Grafton Street Christmas lights, visit the National Gallery, or spend an afternoon at Trinity College. Then return to quiet, residential Ballsbridge for a restful night’s sleep.

Make It a Slow Winter to Remember

Winter doesn’t need to be rushed. Between crisp park walks, lazy mornings with coffee, and slow evenings in local pubs, Ballsbridge is the perfect setting to unwind.
