    The Tower Hotel would be central to most things.

    Within a couple of minutes walk from there you'd have La Palma (Italian), Sabai (Thai), McLeary's (Steak & Seafood), Emilianos (Italian), L'Atmosphere (French), La Fontana (Italian), Bodega (General), Burzza (Pizza & Burgers), Espresso (Italian).....which are all excellent restaurants.

    The Reg Bar is straight across from the Tower Hotel which would have Live music, DJ, Late Bar etc. Other decent bars within a few minutes walk.

    Other centrally located hotels would be the Granville or The Marina.

    I cannot fault the tower hotel, and its in the side of town which has been aimed for tourism, restaurants etc

    https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hotel+Tower/@52.2590406,-7.1090171,903m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!1m2!2m1!1stower+hotel!3m1!1s0x4842c69a3d73ec41:0xca5631bb6287f547


    What kind of food do you like? For a special occasion I would recommending

    L-atmosphere - French
    Maclearys - Steak / Sea Food. Normal Food cooked well
    Sabai - Thai/Vietnamese
    The Olive Tree Tapas

    All these are within 3 minutes walking of the tower hotel.

    Booking essential : )

    If you like Indian, Café Goa is well worth a visit. It's only a short walk from the Granville and Dooley's hotel, and even from the Tower hotel it's not that far (maybe 10 minutes).

    As stated above already, if you are going to go to McLeary's make sure you book in advance as they tend to book out well in advance.

    Enjoy your stay.
