Planning a summer concert trip to Dublin? Choosing the right Dublin hotel can make the difference between a relaxed weekend away and a stressful rush across the city. If you want easy access to major concert venues, practical transport options, and the added bonus of free parking, Aspect Hotel Park West is the perfect base.
Located in Park West Business Park, our 4 star hotel offers guests excellent connections into Dublin by both train and bus. Park West and Cherry Orchard train station is just minutes away, while the bus stop just outside the hotel gives direct access to Dublin Bus services including the G1 route into the city.
That means getting to Dublin’s biggest summer concerts is far easier than many guests expect.
Stay Outside the Busy Centre and Travel in with Ease
Staying just outside Dublin City gives concertgoers the best of both worlds.
You can enjoy:
- A quieter overnight stay
- Easier road access when arriving by car
- Complimentary guest parking
- Direct public transport into Dublin’s busiest venues
Instead of sitting in traffic or paying premium city centre parking fees, guests can simply hop on the train or bus and let Dublin’s transport network do the work.
Getting to 3Arena
The 3Arena is one of Dublin’s most popular indoor music venues.
Guests have two simple options from Aspect Hotel Park West:
Option One. Take the train
Walk to Park West and Cherry Orchard station and take the commuter train towards the city. Travel to Connolly or Grand Canal Dock and connect onwards by Luas Red Line or short taxi journey to the venue.
Option Two. Take the G1 Dublin Bus
The G1 bus departs from the Park West Hotel stop and travels towards North Wall Quay, which is a convenient city side drop off point for 3Arena.
This is a particularly easy option for solo travellers or couples who want a direct bus journey without changing too many services.
Getting to Croke Park
For major stadium concerts at Croke Park, guests can use either rail or bus.
By train
Take the train from Park West and Cherry Orchard into Connolly Station. From there, Croke Park is a manageable walk or a very short taxi ride.
By bus
Take the G1 bus into the city centre and change onto one of the regular northside Dublin Bus services that stop near Croke Park, including routes 1, 13, 14, 16, 40, or 41.
These routes are commonly used on major event days and make travelling to the stadium straightforward.
Getting to Aviva Stadium
Concerts at Aviva Stadium are also very easy to reach from our Dublin hotel.
Fastest option by train
Take the commuter rail from Park West and Cherry Orchard directly towards Grand Canal Dock, then continue a short distance to Lansdowne Road where Aviva Stadium is located. Lansdowne Road station sits right beside the venue.
Alternative by bus
Take the G1 bus into the city and connect onto Dublin Bus routes C1, C2, 1, or 39, all of which serve the Aviva Stadium area.
This gives guests flexibility if they plan to spend time shopping or dining in the city before the concert.
Getting to Marlay Park Summer Concerts
Outdoor concerts at Marlay Park are hugely popular during the summer months, and Aspect Hotel Park West is an ideal place to stay if you want to avoid the heavy traffic often associated with the venue.
Step One. Take the G1 bus or train into Dublin City Centre
Guests can travel comfortably from Park West into the city centre using either option.
Step Two. Connect onto southbound Dublin Bus services
From the city centre, guests can take Dublin Bus route 16 or route 14 towards Marlay Park and Ballinteer. These services are among the most commonly used public transport options for concerts at the venue.
Dublin Bus also operates special concert transport services for large events during the summer season, making the journey even easier on busy nights.
This is a far more relaxed alternative than driving directly to the venue and dealing with post concert traffic queues.
Free Parking Makes Concert Weekends Better
One of the biggest hidden costs of attending concerts in Dublin is parking.
Many city hotels charge overnight parking, while stadium and venue parking can be limited or expensive. At Aspect Hotel Park West, we offer complimentary guest parking so you can arrive, check in, and travel into the city stress free.
This makes us especially convenient for:
- Couples planning a concert night away
- Groups of friends travelling together
- Guests driving from outside Dublin
- Leisure travellers turning the concert into a weekend break
End the Night in Comfort
After the crowds, queues, and excitement of a live concert, returning to a calm and comfortable hotel makes all the difference.
Guests can enjoy spacious rooms, delicious dining, a welcoming atmosphere, and simple transport links back from Dublin’s top venues including 3Arena, Croke Park, Aviva Stadium, and Marlay Park.
Book your stay with Aspect Hotel Park West and make your summer concert trip effortless from start to finish.
