Merrion Hotel

The Merrion Hotel was originally six houses, each featuring two windows, with Nos 1 and 6 slightly projecting forward. The building has a hipped slate roof and brick chimneys. Its stucco elevations include rusticated ground floors and rise to four storeys with a basement. A cornice and blocking course with large brackets crown the structure. The top floor windows are plain and square-headed, with sashes replaced by casements, and long brackets from the cornice frame these windows. The second floor windows are adorned with shouldered stuccoed architraves.

In the left-hand first floor bays, there are tall French casements with architraves and balconies supported by brackets, except in No 2, which features a rectangular bay window. The right-hand first floor bays have storeyed canted bay windows that descend to the basement level, complete with dentil courses and keystones. The left-hand ground floor bays contain round-headed former doorways with pilasters and an entablature, except for No 2, which has a square-headed doorway. The building has modern double-glazed sash windows.

The left return of No 1 has four storeys and two ground floor windows; the upper floors feature windows to the left and a chimney breast to the right, forming a lower two-window block. The property is complemented by dwarf forecourt walls and piers, which have reproduction lamps and railings.
