Inside the five-star Dublin hotel where Joe Biden is staying during visit to Irish capital

On Wednesday night US President Joe Biden spent the second night of his four-day Irish trip tucked up in a lavish 5-star hotel in Dublin.

The POTUS arrived in Northern Ireland on Tuesday, staying in the Grand Central Hotel in Belfast, before travelling to Louth and Dublin on Wednesday, spending the night in the stunning Conrad Hotel in Dublin.

Located close to St Stephen's Green in the city centre, the five-star hotel has had the area surrounding it closed off completely until Saturday.

According to The Sunday World, it is thought that Biden is staying in the hotel's Presidential Suite, which costs a staggering €1,981 to stay in.

The suite is the biggest room in the hotel, boasting its own grand piano, two flatscreen televisions and a walk-in wardrobe.

Anyone staying in the room is in for a treat as the suite offers guests "incredible views over Dublin city". Furthermore, people lucky enough to get a chance to stay here can enjoy a dinner prepared by the hotel's chefs thanks to a kitchenette in the room.

Prior to his stay on Wednesday, Biden had a busy day, meeting with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in Belfast and delivering a speech at the University of Ulster.

He also headed to Louth, setting off to Carlingford and Dundalk before making his way to the Conrad Hotel in Dublin.

On Thursday, Biden will meet President Michael D Higgins at Aras an Uachtarain, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar at Farmleigh estate and attend a banquet dinner in Dublin Castle.

On Friday he will spend his last day in Mayo, where he has family roots. While here he is expected to visit Knock Shrine and the North Mayo Heritage and Genealogical Centre's family history research unit.

His visit will finish with a speech at St Muredach's Cathedral in Ballina before travelling back to Dublin Airport to fly back to the US.
