From top: Central Hotel on Exchequer Street, Dublin 2, The hotel’s Liubrary Bar, The Exchequer around the corner and the nearby The Globe
This morning.
Charlie Taylor, in The Irish Times, reports:
Some of Dublin’s most loved haunts could be about to disappear with planning permission being sought to partially demolish the Central Hotel on Exchequer Street and to the nearby Globe bar and associated Rí-Rá nightclub.
An application has been lodged for a major new development that consists of the reconfiguration, partial sundry demolition, and expansion of the Central Hotel into a new 6,554 sq m five storey hotel with 125 bedrooms and a rooftop extension.
Among the associated properties at risk because of the planned development include the Globe bar, sister establishment Rí-Rá and the Exchequer.
But look what you get.
A bigger hotel!
