THIS HOTEL IN O CONNELL ST. RANKS AS HIGH AND HIGHER THAN MANY EUROPEAN COUNTERPARS ATTENTION TO THE VISITOR US PARAMOUNT TO THE STAFF. THE MEN ON DUTY TODAY BETWEEN 11 30 AND 1330 WERE DOING A JOB WITH GRAT ATTENTIVENESS. THE MINUTE THEY NOTICED A PERSON ALIGHT THE STEPS WITH A SUITCASE/S THEY WHISKED LUGGAGE AWAY AND ANSWERED THEIR CUSTOMERS QUERIES . WHILE WAITING IN THE WRITERS LOBBY I FIRST ORDERED A COFFEE FROM A YOUNG WAITRESS AND GOT IT VERY QUICKLY.. I HAD NOT BEEN IN THE GRESHAM SINCE ITS TOTAL REVAMP AND WAS STUNNED AT THE DECOR .ELEGANT SUMPTUOUS ARTFUL. JUST BLOODY GORGEOUS. I LIKE TO PEOPLE AND WAS PLEASED TO SEE THAT THE CLIENTELE WAS A GOOD MIXED BUNCH IN AGES , IRISH AND VISITORS . OF COURSE THE AMERICANS APPEARED TO BE IN THE LEAD TODAY ANYWAY. SO, I STARTED WITH COFFEE FROM A VERY PLEASANT WAITRESS HOWEVER LATER WHEN MY FRIEND ARRIVED WE EACH CHOSE A COCKTAIL FROM THE IMPRESSIVE MENU THE PRICE FOR THESE DRINKS WAS 12 95. THIS I'S A GOOD PRICE FOR A HOTEL VENUE. I HAVE PAID AS MUCH AND MORE IN FAR LESS. PLEASING SURROUNDINGS. FOR ALL ITS SOPHISTICATION DECOR WISE THE NEW GRESHAM STILL HAS A HOMELY VIBE.. STRANGERS STILL CCONVERSE IN THE LOBBY. I WOULD RECOMMEND A VISIT TO THIS OASIS IN THE CENTRE OF DUBLINS O CONNELL STREET AVE THE RAVE.
