Dalata Group gains approval for €36m hotel overhaul

The Dalata Group has secured planning permission for a €36m plan to transform its Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport into one of the largest in the country.

Last month, Fingal County Council gave the group the go-ahead to add a 367-bedroom extension at the hotel, that was formerly Bewley’s Airport Hotel.

Plans were for lodged for the extension, which represents a 78% jump in bed capacity at the 466-bedroom hotel, against the background of overwhelming demand for rooms at the hotel.
