Prime Location
Little Britain Street and the surrounding area is an up-and coming, young and vibrant part of Dublin city. The adjoining Capel Street was recently named as one of the coolest streets in the world by Time Out magazine and is home to Dublin’s most unique collection of shops, pubs and restaurants.
Another area of interest in the vicinity is the Victorian fruit and vegetable market, which is set to undergo major conservation and redevelopment works. When these are completed, it is hoped that the market will rival the English Market in Cork or Belfast’s St. George’s Market. The Four Courts, Ireland’s most prominent court building, is also located 500m to the south of Little Britain Street. Many of Dublin City’s most popular attractions are also within a short walking distance of this property. It is a proven hotel location with further potential considering the leisure redevelopment in the immediate area.
