Cassidys Hotel

What Cassidys Hotel does

Cassidys Hotel is a family-owned boutique hotel operating from three converted Georgian townhouses (Nos. 6, 7, and 8 Cavendish Row, mid-18th century) on Upper O'Connell Street in Dublin 1, Ireland. The property comprises 119 guest rooms across six categories (Classic Double/Twin/Triple/Family, Heritage Double/Twin), three on-site food and beverage outlets (Restaurant Six fine dining, Groomes Bistro, Groomes Bar), meeting facilities for 2–45 delegates, a residents-only fitness suite, 5 EV charging points, and 24-hour room service. The Cassidy family acquired the buildings in 1995–1997 and opened the hotel in June 1996 with 68 rooms, subsequently expanding to current capacity.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer model with a stated preference for bookings via the official website (cassidyshotel.com), where guests receive 10–15% discounts via promo code DIRECT, mobile-exclusive offers, advance purchase rates, and stay-longer incentives that are not available on third-party OTAs. Underlying technology is standard hospitality infrastructure: Bookassist booking engine with PCI DSS compliance and SSL encryption, supplemented by Google Analytics, Adobe Omniture, Google AdWords, and Google Remarketing for digital marketing. Reservations are also taken by phone and through corporate/group sales channels. No proprietary software, AI/ML capabilities, or public APIs are documented.

Revenue is generated from four streams: hotel room bookings (primary, €85–€133+ per night), food and beverage across three venues, meeting and conference hire, and gift voucher sales through a dedicated store. The target customer base is primarily leisure travelers and families visiting Dublin, with secondary demand from event attendees at nearby Croke Park, Aviva Stadium, 3Arena, and the Gate Theatre (which sits directly opposite). The hotel is privately held by the founding Cassidy family with no disclosed external investment, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no public listing.
