Wicklow County Council has refused planning permission for Johnny Ronan's planned €50m 'sports' hotel.
Dublin City Council last month refused planning for Mr Ronan's 22- storey Aqua Vetro tower on Dublin's George's Quay.
The plan by Mr Ronan's RGRE J & R Valery Ltd involves a 141-bedroom hotel at St Valery's, Enniskerry, marketed towards the sports tourism sector with a particular emphasis on cycling.
It consists of a four-storey over-basement hotel including a restaurant, bar and café area.
However, the council refused planning permission on two grounds, stating that the proposal by reason of its scale and bulk would be an intrusive feature and would impact on views from the N11 to St Valery's and be detrimental to the visual amenities of the area.
