“The situation is a lot different now compared to the days of the Celtic Tiger. Funding is predominantly private foreign investment, spending is more cautious.

“Of course, with Brexit looming, there is a nervousness in the industry, but from our point of view, I feel that the Hotel sector is well place to continue to grow. Small bedroom hotels have reached our shores and are proving popular in urban areas. Dublin in particular, can sustain the current growth in hotels as we are still underprovided for, in terms of hotel bedroom numbers. It is an exciting time in the industry.”

“20 years later, and I am still amazed by hotels and what can be done in terms of design. Hotels are constantly evolving, and the most successful know and  respond to their market. There is no ‘one size fits all’. We enjoy the research and keeping up with the trends, and we bring this knowledge to our clients.”
