New hotels

The newspaper report below from June 2016 shows that a new hotel is being planned in the centre of Dublin. This will appeal to lots of tourists since one of the problems of Dublin is that hotel accommodation is expensive because there is a shortage of hotels in the city centre.

‘A €40m 257-bed hotel planned for Dublin city centre has been given the green light.

Planned by the Hodson Bay hotel group, one of the last remaining hotel groups owned by an Irish family, the hotel will be built on a site on Dean Street, close to St Patrick’s Cathedral in the Coombe area of the city.

John O’Sullivan, owner of the hotel group said he hopes to have the hotel up and running within a year of final approval.

The four-star hotel is expected to employ up to 200 full time staff in the city.’
