The official opening of Dublin City Centre Travelodge PLUS
We officially celebrated the opening of our latest hotel in Ireland in Dublin City Centre in May. Dublin City Centre Travelodge PLUS is not only the largest branded budget hotel in Ireland it is the second largest hotel in Dublin.
With this opening we now operate 11 hotels in Ireland from Cork to Belfast under a franchise agreement with Tifco Hotel Group.
The hotel features 393 rooms including SuperRooms and an onsite restaurant called Mossco and an outdoor garden terrace. This hotel is our fifth Travelodge in Dublin. At the hotel opening a dramatic mural was unveiled, painted by Irish artist Shane Sutton which towers over the hotel’s heated terrace. The mural depicts a 19th-century diver paying homage to the hotel’s location in the Dublin docklands.
Travelodge Plus Dublin City Centre is located within the financial district on the corner of Moss Street and Townsend Street in Dublin 2. It is just a short distance from the Convention Centre, IFSC, Silicon Docks, Dublin Port , 3 Arena and Bord Gais Energy Theatre – as well as the shopping and entertainment areas.
