About The Spa at The Shelbourne
Set within the iconic Shelbourne Hotel overlooking St Stephen's Green, The Spa at The Shelbourne is Dublin's most recognised luxury urban spa. Housed on the hotel’s lower floors, the spa has an elegant reception, an opulent relaxation lounge facing the park, seven treatment rooms, a heated swimming pool and sauna. The Shelbourne pairs classical Edwardian grandeur with modern wellness; you step through marble and stained glass into a calm, softly lit space where high-performance brands such as ELEMIS and Swissline are used alongside Irish aromatherapy from Ground Wellbeing.
What to Expect
Expect a full suite of services: signature facials, deep tissue and aromatherapy massages, manicure and pedicure treatments, targeted medi-facials, and longer ritual experiences that include breathwork and lymphatic techniques. The pool area is perfect for a post-treatment float, and the relaxation room has views across the park which bring a lovely sense of daylight and calm. Staff are highly trained, and appointment bookings can be paired with afternoon tea or a meal at the hotel for a full indulgent day out.
Insider Tips
Book the afternoon slot if you want to step out into St Stephen's Green’s light after your treatment. Ask for a Swissline facial if you want visible, clinical results, or try the Ground Wellbeing rituals for a more Irish, aromatherapy-led experience. If you want privacy, request a treatment room away from the pool area. Vouchers are a popular gift and the spa often runs seasonal packages around Christmas and bank holidays.
