Another landmark Co Dublin hotel, the St Lawrence Hotel in Howth, is to be redeveloped as a mixed hotel, apartment, office and industrial complex. Finglas County Council planners have approved the demolition of the existing hotel and its replacement by a four-storey 22-bedroom hotel with restaurant and lounge bars as well as a basement car-park. There will also be a three-storey office block, a facility for light industry and 14 apartments in another three storey building. The apartments are likely to attract premium prices, given their superb location overlooking the marina and the shortage of high-quality residential accommodation in the area.
