Conrad Dublin creates once in a lifetime travel itinerary

Conrad Dublin announces the launch of its 20 Wanderlust Travel Itineraries, a new initiative designed to ensure guests experience a once-in-a-lifetime trip by offering a customized collection of 20 things to do while visiting Dublin in 2020, available through the expertly trained concierge.

“Conrad Dublin is thrilled to invite guests to take advantage of this curated collection of activities during their next trip to Dublin,” said Martin Mangan, General Manager of Conrad Dublin. “Our team, many of whom are local to Dublin, worked tirelessly to develop the unique list of 20 things to do in Dublin in an attempt to contribute to an authentic Irish experience while staying at our hotel. Catering to our guests’ desire to merge work, life, and pleasure, while focusing on their insatiable appetite for wanderlust travel, we thought this list of 20 bucket list moments to cross off in 2020 would be a thoughtful way to invite guests to live like a local while traveling like a tourist.”
