On arrival to the reception area, guests will be greeted by a wooden tree sculpture alongside a rejuvenated old horsebox transformed into a coffee dock and sandwich bar. It will also serve a selected drinks menu by night.

The hotel boasts self-service check in, but also has a reception area with a front of house team.

The reception has plenty of co-working spaces at sharing tables with charging points and WiFi as well as a photobooth and music zone, with a vinyl collection, record players and headphones.

There’s also a games and library area or if you want to stay active on your city break, there’s a 24-hour gym for residents.

An indoor garden with olive tree and an open fire also features in the O’Donnell O’Neill-designed space.

Hotel chiefs say the food offering “is based around a concise menu offering simple food, cooked well, with a focus on Irish suppliers”.

Light bites like bee pollen salad and crispy whitebait are priced at €10, while fish and chips is €16.50 and Irish chicken supreme is €22.
