lodging
the clarence, very expensive, 011-353-1-670-9000, www .theclarence.ie. it's your vacation, so why not travel like a rock star? that's definitely the vibe you'll get here, and only in part because bono and the edge from u2 are among the owners. splurge for the penthouse - where else are you going to put your posse? - and you can even rock out on the grand piano.

harrington hall, moderate to expensive, 011-353-1-475-3497, www.harringtonhall.com. you'll live like a lord at elegant harrington hall (the former residence of a mayor of dublin), but you won't pay like one. along with the eighteenth-century georgian touches and a staff that aims to please, they even throw in a hearty irish breakfast.

dining
eden, expensive, 011-353-1-670-5372, www.edenrestaurant.ie. the temple bar area can be a tad touristy, but we're happy to make the trek for a meal at this well-groomed global café, where the chefs whip up organic entrées like thyme risotto and roast fillet of monkfish with fennel chutney and butternut squash.

leo burdock's, inexpensive, 011-353-1-454-0306. can you imagine supermodel naomi campbell scarfing down a plate of greasy, finger-lickin' fish-and-chips? it's true. she's just one of the many fans - celebrity and otherwise - of this well-trod takeout spot near dublin castle and christ church cathedral.
