The Sofitel Dublin Airport Hotel is a landmark €100 million hospitality development that will become Ireland’s first Sofitel and the only five-star hotel located at Dublin Airport.

Developed by Arora Group in partnership with Accor, the project comprises 412 luxury rooms and suites, extensive meeting and event facilities, premium leisure amenities, a signature all-day dining restaurant and an 11th-floor sky bar with panoramic views across the airport and beyond, all with direct pedestrian access to Terminal 2.

Construction and coordination activities are progressing steadily, with design finalisation, procurement and early mock-ups completed, supporting a targeted opening in late 2026 and reinforcing Dublin Airport’s role as a major international gateway.

Update Group has been appointed to deliver the full Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing building services for the hotel, working closely with the client, design team and trade partners to manage the complexity of a large-scale project within a live airport environment.

The scope includes detailed design coordination, prototype test fits and sample room approvals, alongside procurement and delivery of major MEP systems to ensure quality, consistency and programme certainty.

Strong emphasis has been placed on logistics planning, sequencing and coordination to address the operational constraints of an airport setting, while delivering high-performance, energy-efficient systems aligned with five-star hospitality standards.
