The Best Western Academy Hotel is situated at Findlater Place just off O'Connell Street, Dublin city's main thoroughfare. It has the perfect location if you're looking for somewhere central to stay in the city, as it's just a short stroll from some of Dublin's biggest attractions and shopping streets.

If you're here on business you'll be glad to know that the Irish Financial Services Centre and business districts are within easy reach.

Dublin's efficient tram service, the LUAS, stops closeby the hotel and is very handy for getting to and from both Connolly and Heuston Railway Stations. The blue Dublin Aircoach also stops on O ' Connell Street (just around the corner from the hotel) as does the 'Hop-on, Hop-off' tour of Dublin city.

Attractions within easy walking distance of the hotel include the GPO (General Post Office), the Spire, O' Connell Bridge, and Trinity College (where the Book of Kells is on display). Dublin's main shopping streets are Henry Street and Grafton Street and these are also easily reached on foot. For nightlife head to the Temple Bar area of the city; just follow O'Connell Street to the River Liffey and cross over O'Connell Bridge then take a right along Wellington Quay. Any of the little streets on your left here will take you into Temple Bar.
