EPT Dublin Hotels

The hotels of Dublin are generally quite expensive, especially in and around Merrion Square. This years event is taking place in the Regency hotel, expect the place will be packed to the rafters, so book early if you're lazy or completely focused on playing poker because this is the ideal base. Taxi's are reasonably cheap, but the traffic jams are terrible.
