Contract Information
Main Building Contractor
The Hotel has 211 bedrooms on 7 floors, over ground floor and lower ground floor public areas. The facilities include a leisure centre with a 20 metre swimming pool, treatment rooms and conference rooms. The reception area is a double height space with Jura Limestone flooring and a stone clad reception desk.
Black limestone cladding and steel clad columns emphasise the hotel entrance. The external facades are a combination of glass and granite giving the hotel a superb front elevation facing the river and Irish Financial Services Centre.
It is interesting to note that this site required a substantial amount of enabling works prior to the main construction works - ground retention and improvement, decontamination in line with EPA guidelines and licence. Construction was carried out under a modified form of RIAI contract without quantities.
The project ran to a fast track construction programme utilising pre-fabricated concrete wall and floor slabs and bathrooms pods for bedrooms. The project is a fine example of P. Elliott's ability to deliver high-quality city centre projects on time and within budget.
