Key for The Wilder
Boutique luxury hotel The Wilder Townhouse in Dublin is celebrating being a Michelin Key holder for a second year, as the Guide announced its honours for British and Irish hotels at a global awards ceremony in Paris.
Introduced for the first time last October, the prestigious guide’s One, Two and Three Key distinctions are similar to the Michelin Stars awarded to restaurants.
Owners of The Wilder Townhouse Frankie and Josephine Whelehan were two of the 300 hoteliers from around the world invited as guests to the awards ceremony at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
Dating back to 1839, the grand Victorian building on Adelaide Road housed retired governesses whilst standing watch over the Dublin of Oscar Wilde and W.B. Yeats. It opened as The Wilder Townhouse in 2018 following a €9.5 million refurbishment by Frankie and Jo, who restored it into a bold, comfortable, and contemporary city townhouse.
The Wilder Townhouse’s One Key award signifies "a very special stay", and the 42-bedroom property is described in the Guide as somewhere that "splits the difference between country-house chill and urban boutique-hotel style".
