Ruby Hotels to make Dublin debut with Ruby Molly hotel

The new Ruby Hotel is being built centrally at the intersection of Arran Street East and Mary Street Little

Ruby Hotels, led by founder and CEO Michael Struck, is set to make its Dublin debut with the announcement of Ruby Molly, set to open Q1 2024.

The Munich-based group’s Lean Luxury Design Hotel is being built in the centre of Dublin: a brand-new building comprising 272 rooms and over 500 m2 for bar, café, and lounge on the ground floor, which is open to both guests and the public.

The new Ruby Hotel is being built centrally at the intersection of Arran Street East and Mary Street Little.

The group said the “expansive” Ruby Bar and Lounge areas have been deliberately designed to be “inviting for all residents of the neighbourhood”.

Architecturally, the new building’s facade borrows its aesthetic from the Fruit Market with its red and yellow brickstones and the extra high ceilings and windows on the ground floor designed to create an open feeling of space. The recessed rooms on the top floor offer private terraces for guests only.

With the upcoming opening of two more hotel projects in the UK, an opening in the Netherlands in 2022 and two new hotels in Switzerland, Ireland is the sixth European country in Ruby’s expansion drive.

Struck said: “The current challenges and future prospects of the industry have confirmed our ‘Lean Luxury’ approach. We make a luxurious and unique hotel experience affordable for our guests, and combine this with a cost structure, which is leaner and more adaptable than usual.

“This has the added advantage of reducing the risk for our real estate partners. Our strategy works because we fit our luxuries into a relatively small area. We plan and build on a more modular basis; we centralise more and we consistently automate systems behind the scenes.”
