Éamonn Mac Thomáis reflects on the description written by a visitor to Dublin of a stay at The Shelbourne Hotel.
Éamonn Mac Thomáis reads from W.M. Thackeray's account of staying at The Shelbourne Hotel on St. Stephen's Green in Dublin which he wrote for the 'Irish Sketchbook'.
The hotel is a respectable old edifice much frequented by families from the country, where the solitary traveller may likewise find society for he may use the Shelbourne as a hotel or as a boarding house.
