This week the Shelbourne launches its very own oyster festival with executive chef Gary eagerly putting together an oyster themed tasting menu.

It's a day to remember for two young newlyweds as they're upgraded to the luxurious Princess Grace suite - and the staff throw in a few special touches.

The Shelbourne receives a design shake up from interior designer Guy Oliver. For a wine tasting event, Nisea the Shelbourne's sommelier takes us through the art of spitting!

Christmas has come to the Shelbourne and the staff are getting ready for one of their busiest months of the year. Trees are going into suites and teddy bears into every room.

This is Christmas on a grand scale, with designer cocktails, thousands of turkey dinners and afternoon teas. However, the hotel's restoration of the front facade is running behind.
