Listing historyNotable events

Revenue's renewed-liquor-licence register lists licence ref N2057 as a Publican's Licence (Ordinary) Hotel - BF - 1902 Act (Public Bar) for THE MORRISON HOTEL at 11,12,13 AND 14 GREAT STRAND STREET AND, 13-18 LOWER ORMOND QUAY AND 7-12 SWIFTS ROW in DUBLIN CITY with SWIFT ROW LIMITED as licensee.[1]

Irish Times reported in 2023 that Dublin City Council granted Centauro Investments permission for an extension to the five-star Morrison Hotel on Ormond Quay Lower, adding 16 bedrooms and bringing the hotel to 161 rooms.[2] The same report said Elena Baturina bought the Morrison from Nama in 2012 for EUR22 million and that Zetland Capital bought it in 2021 in a deal reported as worth more than EUR65 million.[2] Irish Times reported in 2018 that the Morrison Hotel on Ormond Quay had refreshed its Quay 14 bar and Morrison Grill restaurant in a EUR250,000 redesign.[3]

What the Boards.ie trail is useful for

These cards turn the raw forum trail into practical page leads: gossip, character texture, time depth, source depth, and review warnings where the match pattern is broad.

overmatch_review

Big archive trail, needs match review

Boards.ie produces 99 readable matches for The Morrison 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 Morrison Hotel has 99 readable Boards.ie memory signals around stories and gossip, old memories, regulars and characters, music and sessions and atmosphere. The strongest current lead points into "Depression and how I overcame it"; PubHub should keep it labelled as forum memory, then use corrections and source review to turn the best fragments into fuller local stories. The character lane is especially useful here, with 10 regulars-or-room-texture signals.
