Steeped in 19th-century character and charm, The Grand Hotel, located in the prestigious coastal village of Malahide, is an award-winning four-star property and one of Dublin’s leading venues for conferences, meetings, and corporate events.
Originally built in 1835, The Grand has a distinguished history, from welcoming early railway travellers to evolving through several significant redevelopments. Its most recent chapter commenced in March 2025 when the hotel joined FBD Hotels & Resorts, initiating a substantial programme of investment and refurbishment. Enhancements include a redesigned lobby, a comprehensively upgraded Tara Suite, and refreshed ground-floor public spaces. Today, The Grand successfully combines heritage elegance with contemporary comfort, offering modernised public areas, extensive conference and banqueting facilities, and a high standard of service.
The hotel features 202 elegantly appointed bedrooms and suites, many of which enjoy panoramic views across Dublin Bay. Guests also benefit from access to the renowned Arena Health & Fitness Club and exceptional dining at the Coast Restaurant, where panoramic sea views create a memorable setting for every meal.
The Grand offers excellent accessibility for both domestic and international delegates, located approximately 25 minutes by car from Dublin International Airport. The hotel is just a short walk from public transport links offering direct connections to Dublin city centre and provides complimentary on-site parking for added convenience.
Meeting and event facilities include a comprehensive range of boardrooms, syndicate rooms, large conference suites, and exhibition spaces, suitable for everything from senior executive meetings to large-scale national and international conferences. The Tara Suite, the hotel’s flagship conference venue, can accommodate up to 400 delegates and is fully equipped with advanced audiovisual technology, including a dedicated sound room to support high-quality presentations.
Whether you are planning a corporate meeting or a international conference, The Grand provides an exceptional setting, a modern hotel with a rich past, proudly located in the heart of Malahide.

We were absolutely delighted with everything last Thursday. The room, coffee and lunch were all fantastic. I was catching snippets of feedback from delegates as I walked around the room during the day and it was all very positive. The support from your staff was amazing, nothing was too much trouble and someone was there whenever we needed help - from getting the screen and projector working first thing, to keeping the aircon at the right temperature and moving everyone to and from coffee and lunch was amazing.
“We have held our International Marine Claims conference at The Grand Hotel in Malahide for some 20 years as a 3-day residential event. The hotel itself has changed somewhat over that time having undergone a number of renovations, but what hasn’t changed is the excellent service we receive every year and how much our delegates love coming back to The Grand for this event. It feels like a home away from home for many now. The staff are always very friendly and professional and go out of their way to ensure that we are happy as the event organisers, as well as ensuring that our delegates have everything they need. That’s no mean feat when catering to over 300 people.We thank the team for all their hard work and dedication and look forward to continuing our working relationship for many years to come.”
We organized an international educational conference of 150 participants in September in Grand Hotel Malahide, and it went very well. Everyone loved the venue and the catering. We really appreciated the collaboration with the whole team – they are very professional, kind, and helpful. We are excited about coming back next year for more conferences!
"Thank you for the exceptional support during our recent strategic planning session. The meeting room and breakout space perfectly suited our needs, boosting productivity, while the comfortable accommodations provided much-appreciated downtime. Your team’s professionalism made the event a great success – we look forward to working with you again!”
