The place
Ruby Molly sits at 26-33 Arran Street East in Oxmanstown, just north of the River Liffey, within easy walking distance of Temple Bar.
The concept
Ruby Molly is Ruby Hotels' 18th European property and its first in Ireland, built around the Munich-based group's 'lean luxury' positioning — design-forward, compact rooms paired with generous communal lounge and bar space, at rates below traditional five-star hotels. The opening came shortly after IHG's acquisition of Ruby Hotels, folding the German brand's Irish debut into a much larger international portfolio.
Dining & wellness
Ruby Molly includes the brand's signature ground-floor bar and café space alongside its lobby lounge; a dedicated restaurant is not part of the format.
