The Clarion Hotel IFSC is located in the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC), in the heart of Dublin's docklands on North Wall Quay. This area is mainly a business district. The hotel is only about a 10-15 minute walk east along the river from O’Connell Bridge.

It is also about a 15 minute walk (in the opposite direction to the city centre) to the Point Depot, making it a great choice of accommodation if you're here for a show or concert.
