Two night stay on points (30,000/nt) as HHD. No noticeable upgrade, but EL access.

Location. Last time, I stayed in the Conrad Dublin. On the map, this hotel looks close to the Conrad, but it is a 15-20 minute walk from here to the city centre, so less convenient.

Lobby & bar. As mentioned by many others, this hotel is the refurbished Burlington (I was told that they couldn't call it "DT Burlington" for legal reasons). Several people who knew the Burlington and saw the new lobby and bar were impressed with the changes. The lobby looks similar in design to the DT Westend in London. The bar is extremely spacious and currently has 20 screens for watching football.

Executive lounge. Exists and I had access, but I didn't have the time to check. EL is on the ground floor, next to the check-in desk.

Gym. Quite big and next to the elevator.

Breakfast. I got breakfast vouchers as HHD, one per day. Breakfast was OK: fried eggs had to be ordered and were not on the buffet (this is the standard in continental Europe, but not in the UK).
