One might ask why a Hotel in Clontarf, Dublin, is named Bram Stoker, the reality is that Bram Stoker, author of the world famous novel, “Dracula” was born in Clontarf in November 1847. His Gothic Horror novel was only outsold by the Bible and has been hugely successful in theatre and cinema productions to date. Stoker died in April 1912, after a successful life as a novelist and columnist for newspapers. The Bram Stoker Park commemorates him, at his ancestral home at number 15 The Crescent, in close proximity to The Bram Stoker Hotel in Clontarf.
The Bram Stoker Hotel is situated in Clontarf, a suburb of Dublin City, approximately half way between Vernon Avenue and Dollymount Causeway on the coast road to Howth village.

Battle of Clontarf
The famous Battle of Clontarf took place on Good Friday, 1014. It was at Clontarf Strand where the Vikings beached their boats and invaded, only to be defeated by Brian Boru, the High King of Ireland and his army. After their victory, Brian Boru was killed by a group of Vikings who came across him as he was praying in his tent, close to where Clontarf Castle stands today. Brian Boru’s well, located on Castle Avenue was erected to mark this historic presence in Clontarf.
Bull Island
Bull Island is located at the opposite end of Clontarf in Dublin, via a scenic route along the Clontarf Promenade and Dollymount Strand. Declared a National Nature Reserve in 1988, it supports a wide variety of wading birds including terns, curlews, herring gulls and wintering Brent Geese. In 1986, the Bull Island Interpretative Centre was opened to the public to allow visitors to learn more about the natural inhabitants of the area and today the Bull Island is a tranquil escape for bird watchers and naturists alike.
