Whitbread PLC has commenced construction of its first Premier Inn hotel in Outer Dublin at Sandyford Business Park. The eight-storey hotel will feature 157 rooms, including Premier Plus rooms, and is expected to open in Spring 2028. The construction is led
by Galway-based Monami Construction and marks Whitbread's expansion strategy in Ireland. The site was chosen for its strong transport links and international business presence. This project is part of Whitbread's broader plan to establish a 5,000-bedroom network across Ireland, with additional locations being considered in Dublin and other Irish cities.
