Director of The Round Room
The Mansion House in Dublin was conceptualized in the 18th century by one of Ireland’s great visionaries, Joshua Dawson. The Round Room was purpose-built in 1821 to receive King George IV. Remarkable political events have taken place here including the first ever meeting of the Dáil Eireann in 1919.
In 2005 The Round Room at the Mansion House was acquired by EHL Experiences and has since dramatically transformed into a leading events venue with high-end production, lighting and amazing catering. Host to award dinners, live televised events, conferences and product launches, the Round Room is one of Dublin’s city center most iconic venues.
Built in 1821 to welcome King George IV, The Round Room has been the stage for some of Dublin’s most historic moments.
It was here that the first-ever meeting of Dáil Éireann took place in 1919, and a century later, the Anglo-Irish Treaty was ratified, ending the Anglo-Irish War and paving the way for the Irish Free State. Over the years, it has hosted global icons including Pope John Paul II, Nelson Mandela, Queen Victoria, and Princess Grace of Monaco.
The Mansion House Dublin itself is still home to the first citizen of Dublin, the Lord Mayor.
The Lord Mayor’s Charity Ball is an annual black-tie gala dinner fully supported and sponsored by EHL Experiences, with the goal of raising funds for three Irish Charities. It is hosted in the historic Round Room at the Mansion House, a prestigious and elegant venue reflecting the event’s tradition and civic significance.
