Leonardo Dublin Christchurch strengthens its position in Dublin

Pandox and Fattal Group have completed an extensive renovation of Leonardo Dublin Christchurch. The investment strengthens the hotel’s market position in central Dublin and creates improved conditions in a strong hotel market.

All 182 guest rooms and bathrooms have been fully refurbished, corridors and public areas have been upgraded, and the hotel has been equipped with modern air-cooling. Certain works have also been carried out on the roof and façade.

The investment has been carried out in a market experiencing very strong growth. Dublin has occupancy levels above 80 percent and controlled new supply, while demand remains stable and internationally diversified. Tourism, events, and an increasing influx of long-haul travelers have contributed to pushing average room rates to high levels.

Demand driven by international leisure tourism

The positive development is primarily driven by the leisure segment, which during peak season is relatively price-insensitive. Dublin has long been a popular tourist destination with a strong combination of history, culture, and vibrant city life.

During the summer months, demand is further strengthened by a large number of festivals, concerts, and events that attract visitors from across Europe. Long-haul travelers from the United States, Canada, Australia, and Asia have also increased in recent years.

This creates a stable and internationally diversified demand base.

Positioning towards a higher price segment

Before the renovation, the hotel mainly operated in the midscale segment. Following the upgrade, guests are now met with a clearly strengthened product standard, creating improved conditions to compete in a higher segment within Dublin’s strong hotel market. In an environment with high demand and strong willingness to pay, investments in quality have a clear impact on the hotel’s performance.

— Through our continued close and constructive collaboration with Leonardo Hotels, we have together ensured that the hotel today maintains a very high standard. It is a joint effort that has enhanced the overall guest experience and strengthened the hotel’s position in the market, says Martin Creydt, SVP Director of Asset Management International.
