Development of a best-in-class hybrid hotel in the heart of the Irish capital
A purpose-built, best-in-class hybrid hotel, Folk Dublin, will enhance the provision of high-quality, affordable accommodation with modern amenities in Dublin’s city centre. The development will offer a mix of double, triple and quadruple bunk dormitory rooms and private double rooms across six storeys.
Providing a mix of dormitory and private rooms, plus a wide range of amenities open to guests and the public.

Located off O’Connell Street in the heart of the Irish capital, Folk Dublin brings a unique proposition to the hospitality market, combining the quality and service of a traditional hotel with the affordability of hostel accommodation.
In partnership with SW3, who will be operational managers for the site, Folk is designed to meet growing demand in one of Europe’s most undersupplied markets, with some of the lowest bed availability of any European city.
The 138-bedroom site will sleep up to 716 guests – directly responding to the gap in affordable tourist accommodation – and feature a vibrant bar, café, and lounge for public use.
Our vision for Folk is to provide exceptional hospitality without the premium price tag, as a hybrid hotel that authentically reflects Dublin’s famous culture. With a focus on food, drink and music, the site will foster a sense of community, creating memorable stays for guests. Selected rooms will be designed by and named after local artists, celebrating the city’s rich heritage, while live music performances will bring the Irish experience to life in the on-site pub.
