€7.5 Million Refurbishment Underway at Hilton Dublin
Dublin’s iconic canal side hotel, Hilton Dublin is currently undergoing an extensive €7.5 million refurbishment, which is due for completion in September 2008. The revamp promises to bring stylish contemporary looks and cutting-edge facilities to this popular venue. Located close to the city’s main shopping and business areas and next to the Charlemount Luas stop, Hilton Dublin is the ideal location for meetings, business trips and leisure visitors.
The hotel’s 193 guest rooms are being restyled in natural colour tones and chic furnishings, with the additional benefits of air conditioning and plasma screen TVs. Combined with a relaxing room layout, business and leisure travellers will find a tranquil, peaceful setting to unwind.
Rich colours and traditional soft furnishings will transform the hotel’s main banqueting suite and pre function area - The Charlemont Suite - which can cater for up to 400 delegates or 280 guests banqueting style. The hotel’s Third Stop bar and Waterfront restaurant are also being made-over, creating two exciting new spaces with plenty on offer for guests as well as local residents.
An extensive renovation of the reception and surrounding lounge area gives a welcoming atmosphere with its floor to ceiling windows and outdoor terrace, providing the perfect location for an informal business meeting or to meet up with friends over a coffee.
Overlooking the canal, Hilton Dublin is three miles from the RDS International Convention and Exhibition Centre and a 10-minute walk from city centre attractions like Dublin Castle.
During July and August 2008, Hilton Dublin is offering a special DDR (daily delegate rate) from just €50 per person.
