Hard Rock makes Irish debut with Dublin hotel

Hard Rock Hotel Dublin has opened its doors, bringing 120 rooms and the brand’s signature music-infused vibes to the heart of the city.

Located on Exchange Street Upper near the Temple Bar district, the hotel is a contemporary reimagining of two historic buildings, combining the Exchange Building, a listed property built at the turn of the 20th century, and the adjacent Fashion House building, linked together by a newly built glass bridge.

The classic red-brick exterior has been maintained whilst the fresh interiors are adorned with Hard Rock memorabilia, including treasured possessions and instruments from some of Ireland’s most loved musicians such as Phil Lynott, Van Morrison, Hozier and U2.

Dining options include Zampas, a South American-inspired eatery fusing authentic South American flavours with locally-sourced ingredients, and Constant Grind for light bites, homemade treats, specialty coffees and afternoon tea, winding down in the evening with craft beers and late-night cocktails.

Also opening this year in the Hard Rock International portfolio, Hard Rock Hotel Amsterdam American will break into the entertainment capital of Europe in April 2020, located in a famous Art Nouveau building on the lively Leidseplein Square.

Opening in May, Hard Rock Hotel Budapest will be situated in the heart of “Budapest’s Broadway” surrounded by the city’s famed cultural attractions. Hard Rock Hotel Madrid will follow, opening in a prime location opposite the historic Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in the Atocha district.
