What to pack
Guests are invited to enjoy resort casual attire while at the hotel.
For business meetings, welcome reception and Wednesday evening’s reception we request business casual attire.
For Friday evening’s Farewell reception, we request semi-formal attire.
Please refer to your activity descriptions for specific dress requirements.
In general, it is a good idea to pack at least one pair of flat walking shoes to navigate around Dublin- many streets have uneven pavement and cobblestone.
It can be very windy and chilly and of course a chance of rain- packing a light rain jacket and dressing in layers is encouraged.
