Description - Described by the Sunday Times as a building that will "bring the champagne fizz back into architecture in Dublin", Manuel Aires Mateus's luxury hotel, plus 94 hotel residences, plays a vital role in the dynamic of the new Grand Canal Square. Referencing, through form and material, the dramatic landscape and primordial architecture of Ireland, the building features a dramatic lobby that has been designed as if it was excavated from rock inspired by the Giant's Causeway.
