Premier Inn, George’s St., Dublin

Project Overview

Elliott Group delivered a 97 bed Premier Inn Hotel in the heart of Dublin 2, on a highly constrained city centre site bounded by South Great George’s Street and Stephen Street. The project combined complex engineering, façade retention, and precision logistics to achieve a high quality hotel development within a dense urban environment. Located in a conservation area, the historic façade on George’s Street was carefully retained and restored, ensuring the building’s heritage character was preserved while integrating modern hospitality facilities behind it.

A 5 storey structural steel retaining frame was constructed on the footpath to support the protected façade, with underpinning works completed prior to excavation and basement preparation. The innovative approach eliminated the need for extensive temporary works within the permanent zone. Due to the restricted footprint, site operations were strategically managed from the roof of Drury Street Car Park, utilising a tower crane and concrete placing boom. The project was fully coordinated using a BIM LOD 400 model.
