An Taisce appeal halts extension of Radisson Blu Hotel in Dublin

An Taisce has put the brakes on the owners of the four-star Radisson Blu hotel in Dublin city centre from proceeding with a major extension plan which includes 103 additional bedrooms.

An Taisce appealed to An Bord Pleanála a decision by Dublin City Council to give the go-ahead for the large extension to the hotel, which is located at Golden Lane off South Great George’s Street.

The hotel — which is owned by the Galway-based Rhatigan property group — has been posting strong profits in recent years and is now looking to capitalise on its booming business.
