The History of Our Address

ARCHITECTURE

The original Hotel was part of Dublin’s Georgian City, it is a terraced ten-bay three-storey double-pile Victorian stucco-faced building. It was built to service the developing railway system in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. It is impeccably maintained and contributes significantly to the scale of the iconic streetscape and the architectural heritage within the northern part of the Georgian city. Today its classic slated roof top rendered chimneystacks are clearly visible. As a classic building of its time it boasts rendered walls with raised blocked quoins, flat-arched window openings with channelled voussoirs and single-pane sash windows with cast-iron sill guards.

BECOMING THE ADDRESS

The Hotel had originally 20 bedrooms in the original Georgian wing facing Amiens street. It was bought in about 1970 by the McGettigan family who brought with them a long family History of Hotel management and is owned and managed today by Brian and Ciara McGettigan. In 1998 they developed a large 5 story building at the back of the site. In 2007 another two floors we added and as recently as this year a further two floors were added to this block bringing it to an impressive 9 stories.

In 2017 another wing was opened as “The Address at Dublin 1” which comprised of almost 80 luxurious, Hi-Tech bedrooms and a very modern Roof top Club Lounge. This development became the blueprint a new National Hotel brand “The Address Collective” which launched in August 2020 comprising of three luxury four-star Hotels across Dublin and Cork. Each Hotel delivers the same high level of accommodation, food and beverage services but are unique in their character and work very closely with local suppliers to deliver a very local experience for our guests.

JAMES JOYCE ULYSSES

James Joyce places his infamous character Leopold Bloom at the Hotel on the 16th of June 1904 where he struggled to hail a four-wheel carriage on account of not being proficient at whistling.

THE 1916 RISING (Éirí Amach na Cásca)

The Hotel had a role in the planning of the 1916 Easter Rising and served as a meeting place on Spy Wednesday for Pádraig Pearse (A key leader in Rising) and Michael P Collivet (Commandant of the Limerick Brigade).
