TF plans to demolish iconic Dublin hotel scuppered 09:05 - Feb 13 with 5069 viewsgueRRilla

A €15m plan by investors including AirAsia boss and Queen's Park Rangers owner Tony Fernandes to demolish the capital's Ormond Hotel to build a new hotel on the site have been shot down by Dublin City Council.

Mr Fernandes and shareholders in Monteco Holdings had wanted to construct a new five and six-storey property with 170 bedrooms in what would have been one of the latest plays by foreign investors in Dublin's resurgent hotel sector.

That is an ugly building. It sure is good that there are people out there saving ugly bland box-like buildings.

Hideous facade now, thanks to plaster and neon, but a lovely building underneath if restored.

The proposed five or six stories of 'monloithic' awfulness was part of their problem. After twenty years of Fianna Fáil-led planning corruption Dublin's beginning to take it's heritage seriously again, so even without seeing the proposed plans I'd be inclined to trust them on this.
