3,000 hotel rooms needed in Dublin

The rising cost of Dublin hotel rooms will continue unabated, according to a report that suggests the capital is experiencing a shortage of hotel accommodation.

The report compiled by professional services firm JLL claims 3,000 additional rooms are urgently needed to meet demand in the city.

Failure to deliver the additional accommodation would pose “a risk that spiralling room rates will negatively impact Dublin’s reputation and attractiveness on the international stage”.
