An Introduction to Dublin... Between 1991 and 1997, the number of Dublin’s hotel rooms grew by 40% (from 4500 to 6300) and there are plans for further hotels, with an estimated 2300 new rooms for 1999 and 1615 for 2000. Nonetheless, it can still be hard to find a bed (particularly in central Dublin at weekends, over Easter and in summer). Booking well in advance – two to four weeks at least – is vital. Dublin Tourism offers a reservation and information service via the internet (http://www.visitdublin.com); e-mail (reservations@dublintourism.ie); or 24-hour touch-screen units at their tourist information centres. A 12-15% service tax is added to hotel bills.
