A new €30m hotel which is being developed on the site of a former landmark Cork City hotel is on course to welcome its first guests by next summer.

The news was confirmed by the developers of the new 187-bed Premier Inn on Morrison’s Quay as they marked the ‘topping out’ of the main construction phase of the building on the site of the former Moore’s Hotel.
