The School House Hotel Dublin

Rick could not have found a better hotel.

Built in the mid 1800s, the original building was used for St. Stephen's Parish school. Each room was named after a writer.

Ours was Frank O'Connor.

I was glad it wasn't the James Joyce room. I did love The Portrait of an Artist of a Young Man but will never get through Ulysses. I do like Rick Steves description of Zurich as being James Joyce free since 1942 when Joyce died in that city.

The Canteen is the name of the restaurant which had a fireplace burning on a cool Nov. day. The bar is called the Inkwell.

Scooby II looks up at the canopy. He may never have slept in a canopy bed before, although I have. Nice and comfy too.

The tile on the floor is beautiful.

You did good Rick...
