Halloween on Dublin’s Haunted Hendrick Street

Halloween in Dublin is always a special time, but here at The Hendrick Hotel, it feels a little more intense than most. That’s because our home, Hendrick Street, is no ordinary street. It’s one of Dublin’s most haunted.

Steeped in eerie history, Hendrick Street has long been whispered about in Dublin ghost stories. Paranormal enthusiasts say spirits linger here, tied to the city’s darker past. Whether you believe or not, there’s no denying that as the nights draw in and the autumn wind rattles down the cobbles, Hendrick Street has an atmosphere all its own. Staying here during Halloween isn’t just a city break — it’s an experience.
