Morgan hotel in Dublin reopens after €15m upgrade

The Morgan hotel on Fleet Street, Dublin, has reopened following a €15 million refurbishment.

The city centre hotel closed earlier this year to accommodate a full interior redesign and the addition of a fifth floor. The newly refurbished hotel has added 39 bedrooms to bring the total to 168 rooms. The hotel, which first opened in 2001, also has a new lobby lounge and restaurant.

It is owned by MHL, whose other Irish hotels include the InterContinental Dublin, the Spencer and Trinity City hotels, the Hilton, the Beacon and the Westin.

Separately, the Hotel Ibis Dublin, just off the Red Cow roundabout, has been sold to Propiteer Ibis Red Cow Limited for more than €14 million.
