The Iveagh Gardens are one of Dublin city’s hidden treasures, and Maldron Hotel Kevin Street is an ideally located hotel near the Iveagh Gardens. The gardens are a green oasis in the heart of the capital and were designed in 1865 by Ninian Niven, then restored in 1995 the majority of its features such as the fountains, archery grounds and it’s beautiful rosarium.
The gardens are located minutes away from St. Stephen’s green and are parallel to Harcourt street. They are easily accessible by public transport and are located only a 2-minute walk from the Harcourt Street stop on the Luas green line.
