Hotel Market Delivers Strong Sale Prices In 2025"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>For the first 11 months of 2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitalityireland.com\/tag\/jll\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">JLL<\/a> research shows that total hotel transaction volumes in Ireland reached a record-breaking \u20ac1.66 billion.<\/p>\n<p>This includes an estimated \u20ac1 billion of Irish hotels with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitalityireland.com\/tag\/dalata\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dalata Hotel Group plc<\/a>, but, nonetheless, there were still an estimated \u20ac660 million of hotel sales completed outside of this.<\/p>\n<p>JLL noted that this strong market activity demonstrates Ireland\u2019s growing attractiveness as a hotel market in which to invest, attracting a multitude of investor types from across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMajor events helped sustain [a] strong Dublin hotel performance in 2025, with RevPAR growing by 1.3% in the year to date,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitalityireland.com\/tag\/jayne-brennan\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jayne Brennan<\/a>, analyst, EMEA, hotels and hospitality capital markets, JLL.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe long-awaited return of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitalityireland.com\/tag\/oasis\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Oasis<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitalityireland.com\/tag\/croke-park\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Croke Park<\/a>, two major American football games, and the welcomed suspension of the passenger cap at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitalityireland.com\/tag\/dublin-airport\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dublin Airport<\/a> all delivered solid international visitor numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brennan went on to say that Ireland as a whole faired even better, with RevPAR in key cities such as Limerick, Cork and Galway growing by 3.8%, 5.1% and 4.6%, respectively, in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>However, provincial hotel markets, in particular, have seen very limited new hotel openings in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Hotel Supply Environment<\/p>\n<p>A benign new hotel supply environment has supported strong trading fundamentals there.<\/p>\n<p>The JLL research shows that Dublin saw 2,000 new hotel \u2018keys\u2019 open in 2023, however, this fell to 700 keys in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The figure for 2025 is expected to fall to just 621 keys.<\/p>\n<p>JLL noted that this shrinkage demonstrates the impact of high construction and financing costs, and indeed planning delays, on new hotel development in the capital.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these challenges, 2025 brought notable additions, such as the new 129-guestroom Hoxton Dublin, which opened last month, marking the brand\u2019s Irish debut.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitalityireland.com\/tag\/citizenm\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CitizenM<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitalityireland.com\/tag\/moxy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Moxy<\/a> at East Wall also both opened in 2025, contributing new hotel supply further into Dublin.<\/p>\n<p>The year ahead also promises a few more \u2018firsts\u2019, including Ireland\u2019s first terminal-linked hotel (Sofitel) and the first new five-star hotel to open in a long while \u2013 the Hawthorn in Galway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the first 11 months of 2025, JLL research shows that total hotel transaction volumes in Ireland
