Two landmark Dublin hotels will close their doors to the public today.

Jurys Ballsbridge and the Berkeley Court will close at 4pm after 35 years in business.

The site on which both hotels stand was bought by developer Seán Dunne's Mountbrook Homes from the Jurys Doyle chain in 2005 for €380 million. They now face an uncertain future after plans to build a 32-storey apartment block was turned down by Dublin City Council.

Staff at both hotels have accepted a redundancy deal.
