The GAA and Co. Tyrone building contractor McAleer & Rushe have turned the sod on the new €40 million Maldron Hotel beside Croke Park.
The modern 200-bedroom hotel will accommodate a business centre with five meeting rooms, a state-of-the-art gym, and a bar and restaurant facilities, and is expected to open to the public in 2026.
Forming part of the Clonliffe Lands Masterplan, the site is situated at the junction of Clonliffe Road and Jones’s Road, in the grounds of the former Clonliffe College and just 140 metres from Croke Park. The Dalata Hotel Group will run the new hotel under its Maldron brand.
“This is a positive development for the GAA and Croke Park, representing an additional offering that will be welcomed by our members and supporters when planning journeys to the stadium,” GAA president Jarlath Burns said.
“McAleer & Rushe are long term GAA supporters, and the GAA enjoys a positive relationship with them. Dalata is a great Irish company with proven expertise in managing world class hotels.
"The new hotel will support local employment and will be a positive addition to the locality. Practically, the hotel will also support the growth of our conference activity in the newly-repurposed Cusack Stand.”
