Curated Experiences with Grace Ann Fallon & The Wilder Townhouse

Experiencing Dublin is often shaped by where you choose to go, and how you choose to move through the city. Beyond the well-known streets, a more considered approach reveals a different side of Dublin, one defined by independent spaces, makers and a strong sense of place.

At The Wilder Townhouse, this perspective is reflected through a collaboration with Grace Ann Fallon, who brings a detailed understanding of the city’s retail and creative landscape to a series of curated guest experiences.

Working across both art and travel, Grace Ann Fallon is Director of Fallon Murphy Hospitality & Tourism Consultants, a luxury travel designer and private guide, and works across event management and mentoring within the hospitality sector. Known for her informed and intuitive approach to Dublin, she operates under the handle @dublinmuse, where she shares a more considered view of the city.

Her perspective is shaped by a close knowledge of Dublin’s independent boutiques, Irish designers, vintage stores and emerging spaces, allowing her to guide guests beyond the expected and towards a more personal experience of the city.

Through this collaboration, guests of The Wilder Townhouse are invited to explore Dublin through a more tailored lens, guided by local insight.
