There’s a Back To School Adults Only Getaway Experience and we need it

Melissa Carton

The school year doesn’t start until next week and I already feel stressed.

My son is starting at a new school and between work and taking a little family break away, I’ve realised that many things have been left to the last minute including buying his new uniform.

We also need to figure out a new bus route, find his lunch box that went AWOL at the start of the summer and about a hundred other little things. In short a typical start to the school year for most parents. It can get pretty exhausting and that’s before the school run even begins.

If you fancy a little adults-only recharge to get you from September till the midterm break then look no further.

The Conrad Dublin has a new Back to School: Getaway for Grownups which is designed with couples in mind. The stay includes luxury accommodation in a haven of tranquillity, so you can switch off and relax for 24 hours.

Deluxe rooms feature modern decor, bespoke Irish artwork and special touches including mineral water, bathrobes and slippers and you can also have a coffee from the in-room Nespresso machine or enjoy a movie on the 48-inch TV.

Sounds amazing!

The package includes a delicious full buffet breakfast (served daily until 10.00am Monday to Friday and until 11 am on Saturday and Sunday), a complimentary airport return transfers for those not based in Dublin, relaxed dinner for two at the Coburg with a sneaky cocktail pre or post-dinner at Lemuel’s.

Enjoy a workout session together at Conrad’s fully-equipped 24-hour fitness centre with state-of-the-art cardio machines and weights, and the jogging routes around the picturesque St Stephen’s Green are also yours to be enjoyed.

The Back to School: Getaway for Grownups package is available from September 1 till October 31 and costs from €578 per room based on two people sharing for the overnight experience including October Bank Holiday Weekend.
