Dublin’s hottest new address, the state-of-the-art Marlin Hotel is now open. The €55 million development, spearheaded by the Irish owned Marlin Group, occupies a distinctive triangular building at 11 Bow Lane East, adjacent to St. Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre, right in the heart of the city and close to all major transport stops, including the Luas and Aircoach. Designed by architects Cantrell Crowley, the Marlin Hotel Dublin spans 9 floors across 110,000 square feet and houses 300 bedrooms.

 

Interior designers O’Donnell O’Neill were tasked with translating Marlin’s ethos of ‘Don’t Just Stay – Live’ into a truly unique ground floor space that will appeal to corporate and leisure markets alike. The result is a fun, engaging space where hotel patrons can socialise, work or simply hang out.

 

Guests entering from Bow Lane are greeted by the sight of an impressive full-size wooden tree sculpture along with a quirky reclaimed horsebox which serves as a coffee dock and sandwich bar by day, with a selected drinks offering at night. From there, guests can choose to check in at the ultra-speedy self-service check in desk, or opt for a warm welcome from the front of house team. Valet parking is available for residents in the hotel’s carpark.

 

Throughout the ground floor, natural materials, indoor planting and pops of neon are juxtaposed against the building’s exposed concrete structure and cool terrazzo floors. The free flowing ground floor area includes a mix of seating styles, from pockets of comfortable seating giving a homely feel, to coworking spaces at sharing tables with charging points and high speed Wi-Fi, ideal for catching up on work assignments. There’s also a bookable meeting room that’s ideal for those private meetings.

 

Those in search of an urban sanctuary will love the indoor garden featuring a kiln dried olive tree centrepiece and an open fire while the Marlin also has a large an outdoor terrace (due to open late September). Also on the ground floor, a music zone complete with a vast collection of vinyl, record players and headphones along with a fully stocked games area and library are sure to keep guests entertained.
