An analysis of the Dublin hotel development pipeline has revealed that over 3,000 hotel bedrooms will be delivered by the end of 2019. The analysis, undertaken by Savills Hotels and Leisure division, examined hotels that are in the planning process, have received planning approval, or are currently under construction.
 
The majority of planned development in 2018 /19 will take place in the central locations of Dublin 1 and 2, followed by Dublin 8 and Dublin Airport. 
 
It is estimated that in 2018, 55% of new bedrooms will come from new hotels with the balance of 45% in extensions to existing hotels. By 2019, Savills expect almost 90% of new supply to come from new hotels.
 
Hotels currently under construction include:
• Aloft, Dublin 8
• Clayton Hotel Charlemont St, Dublin 2
• Maldron Hotel, Kevin St, Dublin 8
• Marlin Bow Lane, Dublin 2
• Boutique Hotel (Paddy McKillen Jnr.) Ranelagh, Dublin 6
• Pinebrook House, Dublin 2
 
Extensions include:
• The Dylan, Dublin 4
• Trinity City Hotel, Dublin 2
• The Merrion Hotel, Dublin 2
• Hilton Garden Inn Dublin, Dublin 1
• Castleknock Hotel & Country Club, Dublin 15 
 
Commenting on the report, Director of Savills Hotels & Leisure, Tom Barrett commented, "Most Dublin hotels trade in both the leisure and corporate markets and hotel development is also targeted at both markets. The 2018/19 pipeline will bring new supply to the Aparthotel and Budget sectors, which are currently under-represented in Dublin."
