Get Down and Dirty at the Merrion Hotel, Dublin

Travelers to Ireland can now combine the decadent pampering of Dublin's most luxurious hotel with a trekking adventure in the scenic mountains on the country's East Coast. The award-winning Merrion Hotel (the location of Ireland's only two-star Michelin restaurant) has teamed up with Dirty Boots Treks to offer guests a two-day break to explore these remote mountains, just an hour's drive from the city. Hikers enjoy the day's spectacular landscape at their own pace, stop for a delicious homemade lunch, and finish the trek in a cozy Irish country pub. (All hiking gear is provided.) Return to the hotel for a well-earned spa treatment at the world-class Tethra Spa. Package rates are EUR 770 per couple for a two-night stay, including full Irish breakfast daily, available through November 25.
