Premier Inn has obtained planning permission for a second hotel in Cork, Ireland, with construction set to begin in early 2026.
Premier Inn, part of Whitbread plc, has received planning permission for a new 174-room hotel in Cork, Ireland. This development marks the brand’s second location in the city, following the opening of its first hotel on Morrisons Quay in January 2024. The new hotel will be situated to the east of Cork City Centre, with construction expected to commence in early 2026.
The approval aligns with Premier Inn’s strategy to expand its presence in Ireland, aiming for a network of 5,000 rooms across the country. Currently, the company operates six hotels in Ireland, including locations in Dublin and Cork, offering more than 800 rooms in Dublin alone.
Premier Inn’s expansion plans include targeting eleven regional locations in Ireland, such as Killarney, Kilkenny, Kinsale, Sligo, Tralee, and Westport, as well as larger towns and cities like Galway, Limerick, Waterford, and Wexford. The company is also exploring opportunities in four Outer-Dublin locations.
The new Cork hotel will be located at the former Leisureplex site, adding to Premier Inn’s development pipeline, which includes five new locations. Among these are two major hotels in Dublin city centre on O’Connell Street and Jervis Street, both scheduled to open in 2027. Additional developments are planned for Ushers Quay, D8, and Sandyford Business Park, D18, with construction of the second Dublin Premier Inn expected to begin in 2026 and a target opening in 2028.
Premier Inn has been operating in Ireland since 2007, with its first hotel near Dublin Airport. The brand expanded into Dublin City Centre in 2021 with a 97-room hotel on Stephen Street Lower. The company continues to focus on growing its footprint in both urban and regional locations across Ireland.
