Works are underway at Twilfit House, Dublin 1, where a new Premier Inn hotel is being built. Initially planned as an eight-storey, over-basement hotel with 180 rooms, extensive bar and restaurant areas, and a separate gym and retail unit, the project received further planning approval in late 2023 from Dublin City Council for significant alterations to the original scheme.
3D Design Bureau played a key role in both the original planning submission and the subsequent amendments. We collaborated closely with the design team to produce architectural CGIs and verified view montages, which helped the local authority assess the potential impact of the hotel development on its surrounding environment. Additionally, for the amendment application, we produced a comprehensive Daylight and Sunlight Assessment report. Our contributions were instrumental in securing planning permission for both the initial and revised plans.
The approved changes included a reconfiguration of the hotel’s internal layout and adjustments to various floor levels, with expansions to the mezzanine, first and seventh floors.
The amendments also encompassed a slight reduction in floor area on the ground, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth floors, bringing the total from 5,683 sq m to 5,518 sq m. Despite this, the overall gross floor area increased from 7,812 sq m to 8,129 sq m, and the number of hotel rooms rose to 215.
Situated in a prime location in Dublin 1, Twilfit House is close to O’Connell Street, Temple Bar, Trinity College and many other major tourist attractions. Its proximity next to the Jervis Street Luas stop also makes it a highly accessible location from across the city.
Formerly housing a gymnasium and museum, the site was purchased by Whitbread Plc in 2019, marking the company’s first freehold acquisition in Dublin as part of its expansion of the Premier Inn brand.
