€46m hotel in Dublin City shot down but apartments get green light

By | Industry News

Planning permission has been refused for the development of a €46 million hotel on Mount Street in Dublin city.

In December last year, Esprit Investments put forward an application for a mixed development on the site of the 19th-century buildings.

However, Dublin City Council granted partial permission and refusal.

On the residential side, the council approved the conversion of offices on 37 and 41 Mount Street into eight one-bed apartments, one three-bed apartment and one four-bed apartment.

The mews building at 50 James’s Place East is also to be converted to a residential dwelling with two bedrooms.

A three-storey building is to be constructed at the rear of 50 Mount Street and 50 James’s Place East for a studio and two two-bed apartments.

A public park was also approved for the grounds of 33-34 Mount Street Upper.

However, Dublin City Council shot down the demolition of existing buildings 38 to 43 James’s Place East to make way for a 7-storey, 300-room hotel.

At 11,550sq.m, it would have been one of Dublin’s biggest hotels.

Offices on 38, 39 and 40 Mount Street Upper would also be converted for hotel use.

A glazed link and bridge from the rear of 38 and 39 Mount Street Upper was planned for ground floor level. Then at the front, there will be two platform lifts.

A multi-use school space and an arts/cultural space were also planned for the ground level of the hotel.

Dublin City Council refused permission for the hotel as its height and scale would “not contribute positively to the local area character and distinctiveness”.

The local authority also stated that the hotel “would have a significantly adverse and injurious impact on the special architectural character and setting of the Protected Structures”.

It is unknown if Esprit Investments will appeal this decision.
