IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) has announced the opening of voco The Club - Dublin Gateway, alongside partners, Nhance. The converted hotel will be fully rebranded by the end of summer 2025 and will add to IHG’s growing portfolio in Ireland which now stands at 10 open and pipeline properties.
The hotel joins IHG’s fastest growing premium brand, voco, which recently celebrated 100 open hotels. Launched in 2018, the brand has achieved record development activity levels globally across openings and signings in 2024, with properties in over 25 countries. The brand’s flexible approach to design and an operational framework makes it perfect for conversions, allowing owners to benefit quickly from IHG’s enterprise platform, with limited upfront costs.
Located in a picturesque site of approximately 12 acres, the hotel enjoys a strategic location 15 miles west of Dublin in the heart of County Kildare. Fondly known as “Thoroughbred County” for its world-renowned horse racing, Kildare draws significant international interest. The hotel also benefits from its proximity to the N7 motorway, a key arterial route linking Dublin with Cork and Limerick, offering seamless connectivity for both domestic and international travelers.
The 50-key hotel features a brasserie-style restaurant and an outdoor spa complete with hot tubs and sauna. It also has multiple meeting spaces, as well as ample parking, to support business and social engagements.
Since 2014, Dublin has consistently ranked among Europe’s top-performing capital cities, drawing over seven million international visitors annually. According to Oxford Economics, this number is expected to grow by 11 percent each year through 2026, reflecting the city’s continued global appeal. Tourism Ireland reports that overseas visitors spent more than €6 ($6.9) billion in 2024 alone—an 11 percent year-on-year increase—underscoring the rising economic significance of inbound tourism.
The new hotel joins a rapidly growing portfolio of more than 30 open European voco properties and 19 in development, including the recently announced voco London – Waterloo and voco Antalya Konyaaltı, set to become the first voco in Türkiye once it opens in 2028.
