Plans have been lodged for the construction of a five storey aparthotel in the heart of Portlaoise. The Maltings and Granary Ltd group has proposed an aparthotel located at Harpur’s Lane consisting of 25 guest suites, with 13 one bedroom suites and 12 two bedroom suites. It also seeks permission for a refuse store, bicycle store, service room, ESB substation, and rooftop amenity terrace at third floor level. Access to the site is positioned off of the existing road into the Maltings Development which is home to a number of multi-family residential blocks as well as a nursing home. The aparthotel will provide for professionals requiring short to medium term rentals in the form of temporary accommodation.
