Independent reporting and heritage records on this pub, drawn from a curated list of Irish news outlets, Revenue Commissioners, NIAH, and the Dictionary of Irish Architects. Every claim links to its primary source.

Listing historyNotable events

Revenue's renewed-liquor-licence register lists licence ref S1205 as a Publican's Licence (Ordinary) for THE HARCOURT HOTEL on Harcourt Street (including 58-63 and 63A; formerly described as 53 Stable Lane and 64 Harcourt Street), Dublin, with OLEMA CONSULTANTS UNLIMITED COMPANY as licensee.[1]

An Bord Pleanála inspector's report ABP-300484-17 (Dublin City Council reg. ref. 3944/17) concerns a proposed glazed awning over the entrance to 72-74 Harcourt Street, Dublin 2 (in use as a hotel); the report notes the building is a protected structure, and records Dublin City Council's decision to refuse permission.[2]

A NIAH record for "The Harcourt Hotel, 59-61 Harcourt Street" describes former townhouses built c.1860 (within a 1850–1870 date range) now in use as a hotel, and notes they contribute to the historic streetscape.[3]

In 2020, the Irish Times reported that the Iveagh Garden Hotel is owned by Brian and Sally McGill, and said they also operate the Harcourt Hotel and Harrington Hall on Harcourt Street.[4]

overmatch_review

Big archive trail, needs match review

Boards.ie produces 171 readable matches for The Harcourt Hotel, but the name or hit pattern is broad enough that PubHub should treat this as a source-mining queue before writing stronger lore. The links still preserve useful public memory leads.

Best Boards.ie memory leads

The Harcourt Hotel has 171 readable Boards.ie memory signals around old memories, stories and gossip, regulars and characters, atmosphere and music and sessions. The strongest current lead points into "Your Worst Day"; PubHub should keep it labelled as forum memory, then use corrections and source review to turn the best fragments into fuller local stories.
