Marriott International has announced the opening of the design-led Aloft Dublin City, the first Aloft hotel to open in Ireland. The 202-keys hotel is located in the Blackpitts area of Dublin’s Liberties, one of the capital’s most dynamic quarters. The Liberties is rich with heritage, formerly a trading site of textiles; fast forward and this rejuvenated district is the thriving home to media and tech hubs as well as Dublin’s top visitor attractions.

Talking about this recent opening, John Licence, vice president premium and select brands, Europe at Marriott International said: “As a brand for music lovers and music makers, we now launch Aloft Hotels in Dublin, the city that shares our passion for live music. From the buskers on Grafton Street to shows in the National Concert Hall, the live music experience in Dublin is a special one and we can’t wait to add to the city’s buzzing night-time scene by inviting emerging artists to take the stage at our Live At Aloft series.”

With its vibrant design and always-on public spaces, Aloft Dublin City brings a new beat to the city and bold approach to the guest experience. The brand’s signature W XYZ bar anchors the social scene on the seventh floor with striking panoramic views of the city – from sky-piercing mountains to famous hot spots, including the Guinness Storehouse and St Patrick’s Cathedral.
