The Mayson

What The Mayson does

The Mayson was a boutique hotel property located at 82 North Wall Quay in Dublin Docklands along the River Liffey. In 2025 it was rebranded as The Dean Dublin Docklands and consolidated into The Dean Hotel Group's portfolio. The property is set in a converted warehouse and townhouse with industrial character and operates as a design-led lifestyle hotel offering accommodation across multiple categories — Warehouse Rooms (Cosy, Double, Suite), Townhouse Rooms, and a Penthouse Suite with rooftop hot tub and terrace.

The hotel generates revenue from four principal streams: overnight accommodation; on-site food and beverage across Ryleigh's Rooftop Steakhouse, Sidekick (formerly Elephant & Castle), The Bottle Boy pub, and Dime Coffee; POWER gym memberships and fitness services (described as Ireland's leading boutique fitness club); and meetings, weddings, and private events. Distribution is multi-channel, combining direct booking via the group's website (with best-rate guarantee and perks), online travel agencies, and a dedicated corporate and group sales team handling MICE enquiries.

The property serves leisure travelers attending events at the adjacent 3Arena, Convention Centre Dublin, and Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, business travelers operating in the nearby IFSC and Docklands business district, and couples and corporates booking weddings and events. The Mayson/Dublin Docklands is one of four active Irish properties in The Dean Hotel Group (founded 2014), alongside Dublin Centre, Cork (opened 2020), and Galway (opened 2022), with Berlin and Munich flagged for 2026.
