What's Happening?
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.
Why It's Important?
The construction of the Premier Inn in Sandyford Business Park represents a significant investment in the Irish hospitality sector by Whitbread. This expansion is likely to boost local employment and contribute to the area's economic growth. The strategic location in a business park with strong transport links positions the hotel to attract both business and leisure travelers. Whitbread's expansion plan reflects confidence in the Irish market and aligns with broader trends of increasing hotel developments in key business hubs.
