Little Strand Street passes behind a derelict that once was home to the Ormond Hotel and it also features another site that has been derelict for many years.
Little Strand Street and Surrounding Developments:
Little Strand Street, a narrow street in Dublin’s city centre, is a place where historical layers and contemporary development intersect.
The Ormond Hotel:
Located on Ormond Quay Lower, which Little Strand Street backs onto, the Ormond Hotel is renowned for its appearance in James Joyce’s “Ulysses.”
Despite its literary significance, the building has remained derelict for a considerable period.
Redevelopment efforts have been hampered by legal disputes, planning challenges, and economic factors, leading to prolonged stagnation.
The Hotel Development (Capel Street/Little Strand Street Corner):
A new 142-bedroom hotel, being constructed by the Tifco hotel group, is currently underway at the corner of Capel Street and Little Strand Street.
This Hotel development is located on the site of what was previously a Working Mans Club.
The new Hotel will contain a ground floor bar and restaurant.
The planning process for this hotel faced initial objections from Dublin City Council regarding the concentration of hotels in the area, but An Bord Pleanála ultimately granted permission.
Jack Nealon’s Pub (165-166 Capel Street):
Jack Nealon’s is a historically significant and still-operating pub on Capel Street/Little Strand Street.
The pub building itself is of architectural and social importance.
A few years ago, it was announced that Jack Nealon’s pub had been sold to an American company. Due to this news, and the fact that a hotel was to be built at the corner of Little Strand street, some people assumed/claimed that the new owners were planning to replace the pub. It is important to note that Jack Nealon’s pub is a separate building, and business, to the new hotel development.
