Wetherspoon is to invest more than €15m in the development of a new 98-room hotel and pub in Dublin.
Work is set to begin in February 2018 for an early 2019 opening. The new property is expected to create 200 new jobs in the area.
The site is currently a row of derelict properties on Camden Street in Dublin. A number of the historical aspects of the buildings will be restored including circular stained glass windows which were crafted by church decorators, Earley and Company.
Part of the terrace was also a convent of the Little Sisters of Assumption – from 1890 until the 1940s. Their former chapel will also be preserved and form part of the new pub and hotel.
Tim Martin, chairman of Wetherspoon, said: “We are looking forward to developing the site into a fantastic pub and hotel.
“It will be the biggest single investment undertaken by Wetherspoon and will result in our largest hotel alongside a superb pub.”
He added: “Our pubs in the Republic of Ireland are thriving and we are confident that the pub and hotel will be a great asset to Dublin and act as a catalyst for other businesses to invest in the city.”
