The buildings share party walls. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The Hoxton, part of a global chain, reopened on November 20th last following extensive refurbishment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Stephan Ernest, hotel manager, in an affidavit seeking an injunction, said since then there had been \u201crepeated and serious noise nuisance\u201d from Yamamori during late night and early morning hours. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The \u201celevated noise levels\u201d have resulted in serious interference with the peaceful enjoyment of the hotel by guests. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \"> Music is  played five nights a week from Wednesdays to Saturdays from around 11pm to  about 3am, and to 2.30am on Sundays.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \"> Ernest said that as a result of complaints, the hotel has been forced to compensate guests and received negative online reviews. It withdrew a substantial number of rooms from use, currently standing at 31.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">There had been correspondence between the parties over a number of weeks, with  Yamamori offering to put in tamper-proof sound-limiting devices,  Ernest said. There were also promises that its noise expert would meet  the hotel\u2019s expert, but no meeting took place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Andrew Walker, counsel for Trinity Hospitality, told  Judge Brian Cregan on Thursday that his client estimates projected losses as a result of rooms not being let of some \u20ac300,000 by the end of March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Counsel said the Yamamori side had also suggested the hotel should have put in noise attenuation measures during refurbishment. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The judge granted permission, with only the Hoxton side represented, for short service of the proceedings on the defendant. He said the case could come back next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new Dublin city centre hotel is seeking a High Court injunction over music noise levels from an&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294823,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[615,73,61,60,43],"class_list":["post-294822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-dublin","tag-high-court","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=294822"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294822\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/294823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=294822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=294822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=294822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
