As a Marriott guy, if possible, use your points and stay at the Shelbourne in Dublin, which is near Upper Baggot street and some of the more famous non-touristy pubs (Toners, Foleys) in Dublin.
There is a great restaurant near there called Matt the Thresher that always has great fresh oysters. If you go out to Howth, I really like O'Connells near the end, but you really cannot go wrong there.
You will ultimately end up in Temple Bar, all tourists do, but it's like going to New Orleans the first time and not going on Bourbon St. I like the Auld Dubliner there which usually has one singer who is pretty good.
If you want to make the wife happy, you can always go down to Waterford and buy something there, and they do engraving for free. But there is the Waterford castle which is great to stay at and takes you back in time.
I am a big fan of Dingle and Kinsale (great great seafood and best in Ireland in my opinion) (Galway if you want to see the Cliffs of Mohr).

I concur. I love everything about this hotel. I went last Summer and stayed there and then at Dromoland Castle. Love that too.

Saw the Shelbourne. Really debating it vs. the Westin Dublin. Since SPG and Marriott merged I can use either.
