Dublin’s newest hotel opens featuring a subterranean cinema

The 40-room Dublin hotel The Devlin has opened its doors with a unique set of features including a 42-seater subterranean cinema.

The hotel, that describes itself as a “community hub” and “more than a hotel”, also includes a rooftop restaurant, terrace and cocktail bar.

Pure Fitout, the Northern Irish fit out company, fitted the installation and sourced and manufactured nearly every feature of hotel from the 40 ModPods, to the timber paneled rooftop restaurant and bar, art deco cinema, bronze-finished Americana Bar and Moroccan tiled bathrooms.

Five specialist timbers feature throughout the hotel, including the intricate Iroko panelling of the Americana Bar, pitch pine ceilings in Layla’s restaurant and walnut burl to the free standing case goods throughout the hotel’s interior.

Ronan Higham, founder and managing director of Pure Fitout, said: “We are delighted to have helped turn the vision behind The Devlin into reality. For a place like The Devlin, the warm and luxurious character comes from the bespoke one-of-a-kind statement features and careful selection of high quality materials.

We’re proud to have helped create another amazing environment which is our first exclusive hotel fit out, with Press Up Entertainment Group. Having worked with Press Up on several projects since we were founded in 2015, we’re consistently appreciative of the vision and ground-breaking designs that we have the pleasure of bringing to life.”
