PJ Hegarty was contracted to construct a hotel in south Dublin, on the original site of the celebrated pub, Kitty O’Shea’s. The five-storey hotel — opened in 2005 — has 142 bedrooms, five conference rooms, a basement car park, the Grand Canal Restaurant and the Gasworks pub (transformed in 2015 from the old Kitty O’Shea’s). Construction features a steel frame with brick faced, pre-cast concrete cladding panels.
