The Gibson Hotel: On Point and In Tune

Built at the height of Ireland's infamous Celtic Tiger years, the Gibson Hotel is an outpost of streamlined glamor. Alongside neighboring concert venue The O2, formerly The Point, the Gibson Hotel building stands tall amongst Victorian railway cottages – reminders of the area’s working-class history.

Built for a Dockland’s future packed with music, new venues and street-level activities, the Gibson goes to great lengths to redefine space as luxury. Its ground level entrance reveals a soaring multi-story atrium flooded with light from a curved wall of glass that reaches, uninterrupted, to a high ceiling several floors above.

Guests checking in will be swept off their feet by a multi-story escalator ride to the front desk – taking in the full height of that towering glass wall.  Rooms are well sized for city prices and beyond free Wi-Fi and broadband, adhere faithfully to the successful hotel formula of good bedding and big TVs.

Riffing on its rock music theme, the hotel’s Coda Restaurant and Hemidemisemiquaver Bar are woven in to the building with the same open, airy spaciousness first experienced on the way to check in. Hidden gardens, a breezy terrace and lighting plans as theatrical as any stage show in the O2 across the square make something as simple as a nightcap feel glamorous.

Adding its own brand of modern glamor to the still-growing Docklands area of Dublin, the Gibson Hotel could be an early sign of the area's metro future.
