We are delighted to share that our Assistant Bar Manager Spiros Koklas has been included in the global Top 40 for the Hennessy My Way competition! 🍸 Spiros created the cocktail named “The Only Way”. The inspiration for this cocktail came from wanting to combine the flavours and notes of Hennessy’s port & ginger. The cocktail is created using beetroot and port syrup with a mix of yuzu & ginger infusion and a coffee note at the end. This cocktail is garnished with fine beetroot leather and two types of caviar on top; Beetroot & Coffee Yuzu & Ginger. For the final touch a beetroot cloud is placed on top. Not only do you drink this cocktail, but you enjoy the edible garnished bringing the cocktail waste to zero. #hennessymyway #cocktailcreation #shelbournedubln

It is with great sorrow that we share the very sad news that our colleague and good friend Denis T.C. O’Brien passed away on Wednesday morning. Our Head Concierge, a familiar and well-loved presence to both staff and guests, Denis joined The Shelbourne on 22nd January 2007 and throughout his time he touched countless lives, those of both his co-workers and indeed every visitor who walked through our doors. Denis was steeped in the history of every detail of this hotel as well as knowing all about the contemporary city around it and we as a team knew him as the Hotel unofficial historian and curator. To our guests, he imparted his extensive knowledge with grace, humour and professionalism and always with a funny aside or little humourous twist, much to the amusement and joy of his audience. Our guests enjoyed his magical ability to bring the past alive as much as his innate capacity to make what at times would seem like the impossible possible. I first met Denis back in 1998 during my first General Manager’s role at the Central Hotel, Dublin and it was evident even at this point, that Denis’ greatest ambition was to take up post at the Grand Dame. On hearing of Denis’ passing, it occurred to me that in such dreadful circumstances , he would have been the very first person that I would have called. One of my fondest memories with Denis was our shared love of Mont Blanc pens, he had admired mine back in 1998 and we have joked about it ever since. We gifted him a Mont Blanc pen in celebration of his position as first Irish President of les Clefs d’Or and joked again in 2018 when I joined the Shelbourne as General Manager as we still had the very same pens. We would like to extend our sincere sympathies to his family and friends at this time. A book of condolences has been opened in the hotel lobby for those who wish to pay their respects. Denis my friend, you will be sorely missed by me and your Shelbourne family. Sleep well and rest in peace. JP Kavanagh General Manager

In the heart of Dublin on Easter Monday 1916 the Shelbourne played a profound role in The Easter Rising. As the Easter Rising went on outside The Shelbourne, Afternoon Tea continued as planned. It was not until a stray bullet clipped the flower of a lady's bonnet. The ladies and their teacups were moved to the reading room and the long standing ritual of afternoon tea continued. It is with that, the bullet glass pays tribute to the independent spirit of the city, and the courage and steel nerves of all who were involved in the rising.

Happy Easter from The Shelbourne Hotel. We look forward to welcoming many of you over the long weekend. 🌸 #theshelbournehotel #eastersunday #longweekend #hotelbreak #fivestar #flowers #easter #easteregg
