The Future of Demand for Dublin Hotels

The Future of Demand for Dublin Hotels
The ratio of ‘total visitor nights’ in Dublin versus the ‘total number of bedrooms available’ shows that on a comparative basis Dublin has less hotel bed stock than the vast majority of European gateway cities. Dublin hotel occupancy averaged over 80% in 2023 and 2024 and the growing city events calendar will continue to mean multiple ‘compression nights’ per year.
  • The ratio of ‘total visitor nights’ in Dublin versus the ‘total number of bedrooms available’ shows that on a comparative basis Dublin has less hotel bed stock than the vast majority of European gateway cities.
  • Dublin hotel occupancy averaged over 80% in 2023 and 2024 and the growing city events calendar will continue to mean multiple ‘compression nights’ per year.
  • The sector faces barriers to entry including planning restraints and construction cost increases, meaning over the long-term, demand is likely to continue to outweigh new supply.
  • We believe that tourism will grow in its importance to the Dublin economy over the next decade as government policy focuses more on growing indigenous business
  • The long-term growth in affordable international air travel will support demand, and we believe a resolution to the Dublin Airport passenger cap will be found soon
  • This growth in occupational demand has translated into more investment, with investor focus on the ‘living’ sector growing throughout Europe
