Well-known Galway-based businessman John Sweeney has secured planning permission to develop a €32m hotel on Dublin’s Amiens Street, close to Connolly Station and the IFSC.
The four- to seven-storey new-build hotel at 96 to 99 Amiens Street is planned for the site of an existing Top petrol station, one of the few left in central Dublin.
The investment marks a return to the Dublin hospitality sector for Mr Sweeney, whose extensive pre-crash business interests ranged from oil distribution to property and included a stake in Dublin’s Shelbourne Hotel.
