First Look: The Hoxton Dublin, Ireland

Housed in the former Central Hotel, a storied Victorian building meticulously restored, The Hoxton Dublin injects contemporary flair into the city’s Creative Quarter, mere steps from Drury Street and lively Temple Bar. There are 129 uniquely designed rooms, each drawing on Ireland’s autumnal palette with velvets, leathers, timbers, bespoke rugs and botanical motifs, plus locally sourced artwork. The lobby lounge showcases Viking-era archaeological finds unearthed during excavations on-site, and features a bar and lounge inspired by traditional Irish pubs, with oak panelling, timber tables and plush leather seating. The revived Library Bar retains its elegant marble fireplace, bookcases and velvet sofas in an intimate upstairs nook. Dining highlights include all-day Peruvian-inspired Cantina Valentina, serving relaxed picantería fare and pisco sours, while Dollars functions as a New York deli by day and wine bar by night with oysters and small plates. The Hox Gallery spotlights emerging local artists, while the brand’s first basement nightlife venue, Groundwork, is set to launch in 2026.
