A popular hotel group has announced plans to build a four-star hotel with 200 bedrooms near Croke Park.
The Dalata Hotel Group has signed a lease agreement for a Maldron Hotel to be built beside GAA HQ in the next three years to facilitate the hundreds of thousands of sport and music fans who flock to the area each year.
The new hotel, which will have a business centre and six meeting rooms as well as a bar and restaurant facility, will be located on the junction of Clonliffe Road and Jones's Road.
The group hope to secure planning for the hotel sometime this year with an opening date of 2023 being suggested.
Peter McKenna, stadium director at Croke Park, added: "We are delighted to be working with Dalata, the largest hotel operator in Ireland, to deliver the Maldron Hotel Croke Park to the Dublin market.
"The hotel is a vital part of the wider development strategy for the stadium complex and will provide much needed accommodation for GAA fans, conference attendees and museum visitors in the years to come."
