Dublin City Council has approved a €20m redevelopment of the Ormond Hotel in Dublin city centre.

The Council has granted planning permission to Monteco Holdings — a firm co-owned by AirAsia boss and Queens Park Rangers Football Club owner, Tony Fernandes — to demolish and redevelop the property. 

 

The approval follows our submission of a detailed response to the planning authority’s request for further information, which included modifications to the main façade, windows, and materials used.

The hotel  has been vacant for over 10 years and is now in poor condition.
