The topping out ceremony at Ireland’s first citizenM hotel took place recently at the former Molyneux House site opposite St Patrick’s Cathedral.
The 245-room hotel is set to open in 2025 with the façade of Molyneux House to be retained as part of the new citizenM hotel.
citizenM
citizenM has 34 hotels across the UK, North America, Europe and Asia.
This marks the brand’s first venture into Ireland, and it is actively seeking further opportunities in Dublin city centre.
'Vibrant Community'
“We are thrilled to have reached this milestone for our first ever hotel in Dublin, and our first entry into the Irish market," said Klaas van Lookeren Campagne, CEO of citizenM.
"We believe our affordable luxury concept is a great fit for the city, and we look forward to connecting with this vibrant community.”
Facilities
citizenM Dublin St Patrick’s will be a nine-storey hotel and will feature 245 of citizenM’s signature bedrooms.
In terms of public spaces, guests will be able to enjoy an art-filled ground floor ‘Living Room’ which will include a 24/7 canteenM bar, pantry and servery, self check-in area, seating areas with designer furniture from Vitra, and four societyM meeting rooms available for half-day and full-day use.
'Affordable Luxury'
The building of the hotel is led by award-winning construction and fit-out firm, Gilbert-Ash.
It is the second project Gilbert-Ash has worked on with citizenM after the team completed the modular construction of citizenM London Victoria.
“I have no doubt that when complete, citizenM Dublin St Patrick’s will be extremely popular with guests as it will step outside the traditional hotel model with the focus on affordable luxury for the people,” said Sean Doran, Gilbert-Ash project director.
