A vibrant new base to stay and play for concerts, culture and winter getaways

Once a bustling port, today Dublin’s Docklands has transformed into one of the city’s most exciting districts — where striking modern architecture meets riverside walks, cultural venues and cutting-edge design. At its center stands Moxy Dublin Docklands, the capital’s newest hotel, bringing playful energy and skyline views to this ever-evolving neighbourhood.

With major venues like the 3Arena, Bord Gáis Energy Theatre and the Convention Centre Dublin just minutes away, the Docklands area is an unbeatable base for exploring Dublin’s winter culture scene.

From Moulin Rouge! The Musical lighting up the stage at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, to Madama Butterfly and The Nutcracker ballet performing through November, the city’s cultural calendar is full of show-stopping moments. The 3Arena plays host to global acts such as JLS, Bad Omens and The Last Dinner Party, while the Epic Museum offers unique insight into Ireland’s history and culture

Across the city, Space Week and the Dublin Book Festival fill November with creativity and conversation,  perfect for those who love to blend culture with their city break.

As Christmas approaches, the city takes on its festive glow: carols at Christ Church Cathedral, Christmas by Candlelight at St Patrick’s Cathedral, and the return of the much-loved Gaiety Theatre panto Beauty and the Beast. Shoppers can hop on the Luas and wander O’Connell Street and Grafton Street beneath twinkling lights or pick up local gifts at Dublin’s many pop-up markets before returning to Moxy Dublin Docklands for a cocktail overlooking the Liffey.

Inside, the 15-storey Moxy Dublin Docklands combines bold design and a buzzing social atmosphere with modern comfort. Guests check in at the bar with a welcome cocktail or mocktail before settling into stylish rooms with sweeping views over Dublin Bay and the city skyline.

Just a 10–15 minute stroll from the 3Arena or a short Luas ride from the city center, Moxy Dublin Docklands makes it easy to combine a night out with a weekend away. From gigs and shows to riverside walks and late-night pop-ups, it’s an ideal starting point for exploring Dublin’s mix of heritage and modern culture.

This season, guests can book the  Stay and Play package, including an overnight stay, breakfast and a welcome drink on arrival — perfect for a concert weekend or pre-Christmas escape. The Stay Longer on Us offer also gives 10% off room-only rates for stays of three nights or more between 1 November 2025 and 28 February 2026 (promo code S6058).

As Dublin’s Docklands continues to evolve into a modern hub for business, culture and creativity, Moxy Dublin Docklands captures the spirit of the area — energetic, contemporary and full of life.
