The Five Best Hotels For St. Patrick's Day

March 3, 2009 at 3:38 PM | by juliana | 1 Comment

Knick, knack Paddy whack, find us a hotel room....

St. Patrick's Day falls on a Tuesday this year, meaning most folks are celebrating the Luck of the Irish the weekend before. But the die-hard green beer-drinkers (and of course, college kids) will remain true to the 17th.

This holiday is one where a hotel room is completely necessary. You don't want to pull a Mel Gibson on this night and while some of you might have alternative sleeping arrangements (Yes! We're talking to you serial bed-hoppers and couch-surfers) we're thinking that we'd like to end a night of Erin Go Braugh revelry and the unfortunate "Come On Eileen" sing-along on a nice fluffy bed with (hopefully) a toilet very, very, very nearby.

Here are our top picks for Hotels for St. Patrick's Day.

Hotel Monaco Chicago: The former hat factory sits on the banks of the Chicago River which will be dyed green on Saturday, March 14th. But aside from killer views of the river green, the hotel itself is very "green." Along with the city's other Kimpton hotels, the Monaco has received the Green Seal™ Silver Certification, meaning it has met a "rigorous set of environmental standards designed to reduce impact on the environment and human health." That should make up for the green dye in the river, right? Rates start at $203.
Address: 225 N Wabash Ave, Chicago, IL 60601

Bally's Las Vegas: It wouldn't be a HotelChatter List without a Sin City hotel since Las Vegas mid-week can be extremely affordable. Right now, Bally's has rooms on March 17th for $69 a night which leaves plenty of room in your budget to try your luck at the tables. Or you know, just drink your face off.
Address: 3645 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Room Mate Grace: In the heart of Times Square and popular amongst European travelers, the Room Mate Grace might actually be your best chance at meeting a real Irishman (or woman.) Plus, you can't go a block without falling into an Irish pub of some sort. And it has a pool! Room rates start at $160 a night.
Address: 125 W 45th St, New York, NY 10036

The Four Seasons Dublin: Has it always been your dream to celebrate St. Patty's Day in Dublin? Well, if you're making the long haul to the end of the rainbow you might find your pot of gold at the Four Seasons Dublin, which is rated the #1 hotel in Town on TripAdvisor. Room rates start at 225 Euros.
Address: Simmonscourt Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin, Ireland

Hyatt Regency Cambridge: Ah Boston. Home of the Celtics. It must be a popular town to celebrate the patron saint of Ireland because hotel rooms here are going for a pretty penny. We found a Comfort Inn for $109 and that's one of the cheapest rates we saw. However, looking at some rates on Expedia, we found the Hyatt Regency Cambridge for $129 a night. The hotel is two miles from downtown Boston and it has a free shuttle to get you around when you've done too many Irish car bombs.
Address: 575 Memorial Dr, Cambridge, MA, 02139

    Dublin / Ireland for Patrick's Day

    Agreed it is a dream come through to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Dublin - the parade is bigger and better than ever (not just because I'm envolved!) and all hotels (with availability) are offering discounts.
