InterContinental Dublin is a luxury hotel in Ballsbridge, just south of the main city-centre core. It is not a pure city-centre pick, but it remains relevant for this guide because the official site confirms a 14-metre indoor heated pool, sauna and steam room in a calm, upscale setting. For travellers willing to stay just outside the core centre, it offers one of the better wellness-led alternatives in Dublin.

Why it ranks
It ranks lower because Ballsbridge is not the city-centre core and the pool is smaller than the best central competitors. It still merits inclusion as a near-centre fallback because the hotel is well established, the indoor pool is clearly verified, and some travellers actively prefer the quieter upscale setting while keeping central Dublin within easy reach.
