To mark the occasion, the hotel has unveiled A Silver Legacy, an exclusive new guest experience
This September, The College Green Hotel Dublin celebrates a remarkable milestone: 25 years of hospitality at one of the city’s most historic and iconic addresses.
To mark the occasion, the hotel has unveiled A Silver Legacy, an exclusive new guest experience created in partnership with renowned Irish silversmiths Silverworks, inviting visitors to discover Dublin through its rich tradition of craftsmanship, artistry and culture.
With over 200 years of history, the building’s story extends far beyond its time as a luxury hotel. Long before it became one of Dublin’s finest hospitality destinations, and before its years as a grand banking hall, this historic address was home to the Royal Irish Institution, an influential centre for art, exhibitions, music and Irish creativity. Its legacy helped shape Dublin’s cultural landscape and inspired generations of artists, makers and innovators.
Today, as The College Green Hotel Dublin commemorates 25 years as a hotel, it continues this tradition of celebrating the city’s enduring spirit through experiences that connect guests with Dublin’s heritage in meaningful and memorable ways.
A Silver Legacy
Created especially for the hotel’s silver anniversary year, A Silver Legacy is an immersive experience designed to reveal a hidden side of Dublin. In partnership with Silverworks, guests gain exclusive behind-the-scenes access to a world of master craftsmanship, where centuries-old silversmithing traditions continue to thrive in the heart of the city.
The experience includes luxury accommodation at The College Green Hotel Dublin, champagne on arrival, a curated guide to Hidden Dublin and exclusive private access to the Silverworks Atelier, where guests can meet master craftspeople and learn about the artistry behind one of Ireland’s most enduring crafts. Package rates start from € 600 per person sharing.
Guests may choose between one of two private silversmithing experiences:
- Private Ring Forging Workshop
Create a handcrafted silver ring under the guidance of an expert Irish silversmith, learning traditional techniques while crafting a unique piece to treasure for years to come. - Private Claddagh Ring Forging Workshop Create Ireland’s most iconic symbol of love, loyalty and friendship in an intimate masterclass that celebrates both Irish heritage and personal storytelling.
Designed to create lasting memories, each workshop allows guests to leave with more than a souvenir. They depart with a handcrafted keepsake and a personal connection to Dublin’s rich craft heritage.
“As we celebrate 25 years of welcoming guests to The College Green Hotel Dublin, we wanted to create an experience that reflects this building’s remarkable history and the creativity that has always defined this address,. A Silver Legacy is a tribute to Dublin’s makers, craftspeople and cultural heritage, offering guests the opportunity to create something meaningful while becoming part of the story of one of the city’s great addresses.” said Joanne Dillon, General Manager, The College Green Hotel Dublin.
More than a luxury city break, A Silver Legacy is an invitation to experience Dublin through its history, its makers and its enduring traditions. It is a celebration of craftsmanship, culture and connection, perfectly befitting a landmark year in the hotel’s history.
As The College Green Hotel Dublin marks 25 years of hospitality and over two centuries of history, A Silver Legacy offers guests a unique opportunity to take home a piece of Dublin’s story while creating a legacy of their own.
