Whitbread has secured planning consent to build its first Premier Inn hotel in outer Dublin at Sandyford Business Park.
A 157-bedroom Premier Inn of between five and eight storeys will be constructed at the site at 5 Arkle Road, featuring the hotel chain’s latest bedroom and ground floor formats.
Whitbread acquired the long leasehold interest in the site in December 2023 as part of its expansion strategy for Premier Inn in Ireland.
Matt Gent, development manager for Whitbread in Ireland, said: “We have selected a superb location for our debut in Outer Dublin at Sandyford Business Park. It is a hugely successful business destination, yet it lacks the affordable branded hotel accommodation that Premier Inn provides so well.
“Securing a planning grant to build a new, latest format 157-bedroom Premier Inn hotel at Arkle Road is a huge achievement for the team and another important milestone in the expansion of the Premier Inn across Ireland.”
