About Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland
Step inside the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland at 63 Merrion Square, and you'll find yourself in Dublin's only fully intact late 18th-century Georgian townhouse. We've carefully preserved every original detail while creating versatile spaces that work brilliantly for modern meetings and celebrations. Our first-floor reception rooms offer generous proportions with tall windows flooding the space with natural light. These interconnected rooms adapt easily—we've seen them transform from boardroom configurations for strategic planning sessions to elegant settings for intimate wedding receptions. The original plasterwork and period features create an atmosphere that sparks conversation before your meeting even begins. Downstairs, the Helen Roe Theatre seats 100 guests in tiered rows, making it perfect for presentations, conferences, or speaker events where everyone needs clear sightlines. We regularly host book launches here, and authors tell us the wood-paneled walls create wonderful acoustics for readings. The ground-floor library works beautifully for smaller gatherings or as a breakout space during larger events. Our private walled garden follows its original Georgian design—formal box hedging, gravel paths, and mature plantings create distinct areas for mingling. During summer months, we open the French doors so your indoor meeting can spill naturally into the garden. Corporate groups particularly enjoy using the outdoor space for networking breaks or evening drinks receptions. Being neighbors with the National Gallery and National Museum means your guests can easily combine their visit with cultural activities. We're right in the heart of Dublin's Georgian district, surrounded by those famous colorful doors and wrought-iron railings. Whether you're planning a conference, literary evening, or celebration, our historic rooms provide the character and flexibility you need.
