About us The story of Haddington House is a colourful one. A story somewhat steeped in history, and the odd bit of speculation.

Our story begins long before the hotel you see today. The House is made up of a collection of four beautifully restored Victorian townhouses overlooking Dublin Bay in Dún Laoghaire — once officers’ quarters, then a school for young women, and later the original hotel that sparked the name Haddington House.

In 2015, we took on the entire property with a passionate vision: to unify these historic houses into a hotel that honours the past while delivering a luxury experience fully of the moment. This commitment to craft and continuity is what drove our recent, significant bedroom renovations — bringing together classic Victorian character and a contemporary sense of comfort.

While we look to the past for inspiration, we’re equally focused on what makes a stay feel truly special today — comfort, care, attention, and those small details that quietly delight.

This is an ongoing mission, a commitment to offer guests a memorable experience, and continue to surprise our guests with thoughtful touches: complimentary bikes for coastal adventures, flexible check-out when possible, and little gestures that make special occasions feel truly memorable.

And at the heart of it all is the spirited figure who continues to inspire the House today — Adelaide Haddington herself. Independent, curious and full of character, her story shaped the identity of Haddington House and continues to influence the experience we create for our guests.
