Corridors with cream-coloured carpeting and white walls lead off to the hotel's 125 guest rooms, which look out over either the surrounding rooftops or the main road running along Temple Bar. The rooms here come in various categories, namely Standard, Deluxe, Suites (rooms, apartments, and Junior Suites), and penthouse, with the Standard rooms housed in the old wing and the Deluxe in the new one. Apart from their size, the differences between these 2 categories are minimal. The Deluxe rooms come with a king size bed.
The virtually all white guest rooms feature stylish decor that manages to highlight every last detail, such as the headboard, the use of cerused wood, the Stark chairs, the white marble desk, etc. The emphasis here is on making the room look as uncluttered as possible, and you'll even find that all of the amenities are tucked away in the wardrobes and cupboards.
In-room amenities include a wall-mounted plasma screen television (with a keypad underneath), very discreet (though not in the Standard rooms) individual air conditioning, a very good mini bar complete with tea and coffee-making facilities, a safe, various electrical sockets, an Internet connection, a large stylish mirror, a phone, and an iron and ironing board.
The frosted glass sliding doors lead through to the bathroom, where you'll find a cream-coloured marble vanity unit, a circular wash basin, a mirror high up on the wall, a large bathtub, bathrobes and slippers, a hair dryer, and a fine selection of White Company hospitality products. There are also light fittings suspended from ropes on the ceiling and the decor in the bathrooms even includes a small wooden ladder.
The apartments are also furnished along the same lines: bright and minimalist, and decorated in shades of white and cream with a few splashes of colour (particularly purple). The hotel refers to these as "Home@TheMorgan". They feature 2 distinct parts: a lounge area furnished with 2 white sofas, a large plasma screen television, etc.; and the bedroom. There is also a well equipped kitchenette along one section of wall. The penthouse is also worth a look, particularly as the beautiful rooftop terrace houses a 50s-version "Airstream" straight from the USA. You really can't help but fall in love with this wonderfully charming retro aluminium caravan.
