Announced · TBCCork's hotel openings move more slowly than Dublin's, but the city has two genuine, verified entries. Press Up Hospitality Group — the same group behind The Leinster and The Chancery in Dublin — opened The Dean Cork, a 114-room design-led boutique hotel, on Horgan's Quay in December 2020. Hilton is now developing the city's first Hilton-branded hotel: a 103-room Tapestry Collection property on South Terrace that restores a protected Georgian terrace originally designed by Cork-born architect Sir Thomas Deane, behind a new six-storey extension. Developer JMK Group has secured €21.3 million in funding for the project, which is targeting an autumn 2027 opening.
Horgan's Quay to South Terrace: a boutique opening and a first-Hilton in progress
The Dean Cork and the coming Tapestry Collection hotel sit on opposite banks of the River Lee and represent two different kinds of project — The Dean a completed, operating boutique hotel with a rooftop restaurant and bar, the Tapestry Collection hotel a heritage-led new build still in development, with funding secured and planning granted but construction not yet finished.
