Premier Inn Dublin Sandyford
Whitbread breaks ground on its first outer-Dublin Premier Inn, a 157-room new build in the Sandyford Business Park.
Announced · Spring 2028
Premier Inn Dublin Sandyford is under construction in the Sandyford Business Park, Whitbread's first outer-Dublin property and ninth hotel in Ireland. The 157-room, eight-storey new build broke ground after planning permission was granted in May 2025, targeting a spring 2028 opening.

The place
Arkle Road, Sandyford Business Park, Dublin 18: a corporate office district roughly 20 minutes from the city centre via the Luas Green Line.
The concept
Whitbread acquired the long-lease interest on this Sandyford Business Park site in December 2023 and secured planning permission from Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council in May 2025. Construction broke ground with Galway-based Monami Construction as main contractor, targeting an 18-month build for the brand's first outer-Dublin property and ninth hotel in Ireland overall: chosen for Sandyford's dense cluster of international corporate occupiers and transport links, an area Whitbread describes as underserved by affordable, branded hotels. The 157-room property uses Premier Inn's latest room format, including its 'enhanced' Premier Plus rooms. It is part of a wider push that has lifted Whitbread's Irish room target from 3,500 to 5,000 beds, with four further outer-Dublin sites and several city-centre and regional locations under consideration.
