As part of the Hilton Global ‘Travel with Purpose Week’, the hotel recently partnered with VillageVets to offer our furry friends a free check up by VillageVets nurse Alan Gallagher, arrival drinks and snacks for both owner and pets, and a goodie bag designed especially for the VIPs – Very Important Pets.
VillageVets has generously donated a one-year free pet health plan to be raffled to one lucky winner, with all collections and donations by pet owners being doubled by Hilton Dublin Kilmainham and donated to DSPCA.

The Hilton Dublin Kilmainham is the perfect pet friendly destination for exploring the historic Dublin 8 area. One of the jewels of Dublin 8 is of course, Kilmainham Gaol, one of the most popular attractions in Ireland.
The hotel is located beside the Irish Museum of Modern Art, in the former Royal Hospital Kilmainham, which is also a pet-friendly park to visit while staying at the hotel.

However, Kilmainham is not just a magnet for history buffs, it’s also adjacent to the bustling shopping districts of Smithfield and close to the famous Grafton street with their superb mix of places to explore for a night out on the town. Not forgetting the Guinness Storehouse, just a short 15-minute stroll from the hotel.
For a family or couple looking for a pet friendly experience in Dublin with lots of green spaces to explore and walk for your pets, Hilton Dublin Kilmainham is the place to stay!
