Previously La Stampa Hotel, the Dawson is now a boutique hotel with an award-winning spa. Other than the therapeutic treatments, the hotels greatest attribute is its central Dawson Street location, minutes from Trinity College and St. Stephen's Green. Bedroom decor ranges from Asian to Moroccan to classic French, and the art deco-styled Sam's Bar on site draws a crowd. Note that the rooms of the old Victorian are not soundproofed.
