An Bord Pleanála have given the go ahead for the development of a boutique hotel in Ranelagh. Paddy McKillen Jr will add the Hotel at 117-119 Ranelagh to his already impressive Press Up Entertainment Group portfolio, which includes The Dean Hotel and Workman’s Club.

Despite several appeals and objections, the five floor, 41 bedroomed Hotel will go ahead. The boutique hotel will also include a 50-seat arthouse basement cinema and roof-top restaurant. It is believe the development will take between 18-24 months to complete creating 80 full and part time jobs once opened.
