Car Park

We do not offer a Valet Parking Service but we have limited spaces available at a preferred price in Union Quay car park, a five-minute walk from the hotel. Please note that these spaces can fill up quite quickly, so we may offer you a preferred rate in another car park if the Union Quay car park is full. 

To avail of this car parking facility, please park outside the main entrance of the hotel, on check-in the receptionist will give you a pass and directions. It would be an idea to bring in your luggage when you check in and our porters will deliver it to your room.

It is a privately owned car park but we have a preferred price for guests, there is a charge of €15.00 per day from 3 pm on the day of arrival to 12 noon on the day of check out.
