Managing Director Gráinne Ross

Gráinne’s story has been deeply entwined with Dylan since 2006. A career highlight has been the renovation works done on the lobby, bars and restaurant in 2019, which she believes has shaped the hotel for years to come. Her eagle-eye for great design has seen her assemble a collection of remarkable one-off pieces around the hotel, either sourced directly from wonderful Irish artists and craftsmen or found at auction. Her favourite thing is watching her team excel. “Seeing a superstar employee move up through the ranks is fantastic and it’s a great feeling assisting them with their career progression.”

General Manager Conor Dillon

If Conor’s serendipitous surname wasn’t enough to qualify him for the job as General Manager of Dylan, his impressive CV certainly was. Working in hospitality in Australia, Bermuda and Ireland, including time with Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, the Limerick man joined the Dylan family in 2014, before being promoted to General Manager in 2018. “Dylan was a one-of-a-kind on the Dublin hotel scene when it opened in 2006, and still is to this day. It was somewhere I wanted to work in from early in my career and I am proud to be a part of its story and evolution.”

Director of Sales & Marketing Michelle Blake

Michelle’s upbeat and inclusive attitude makes her an ideal fit for the Dylan family. Joining the team in 2021 as Sales & Marketing Director, she brings her warmth and trademark energy to all aspects of hotel life. With a CV that includes time at Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, Michelle comes with exceptional training and an appreciation for luxury hospitality and 5-star service. When not travelling to represent Dylan internationally, one of the favourite parts of her job is exceeding guest’s expectations. “Sometimes the smallest touches bring the most joy.”

Food & Beverage Manager Patrick Sheehan

A graduate of The Court of Master Sommeliers in America, Patrick wears his immense knowledge lightly.

A natural host, Patrick is kind and extremely knowledgeable. He’s also our go-to man for all things, wine, champagne and cocktails.
