DALLAS – The Spencer in Dublin, formerly Clarion Hotel IFSC Dublin, has moved to Pegasus Connect+ Premium by Pegasus Solutions for global sales and marketing support of the newly refurbished and rebranded hotel. Situated in the heart of Dublin's IFSC, the designfocused hotel by Fitzpatrick Lifestyle Hotels is now available through the global distribution systems (GDSs) under the Pegasus Connect+ "UI" chain code, as well as through a thousand Pegasus-connected online channels.

"In re-imagining our hotel, we thought through everything travelers might want out of their Dublin stay," said Paul Fitzpatrick, founder of Fitzpatrick Lifestyle Hotels. "This ranged from plush rooms and complimentary access to the Spencer Health Club, to eclectic design and power showers in all guestrooms. But, we first needed to help travelers find us. Pegasus Connect+ Premium provides everything to do that – connectivity and distribution, sales consulting, and an active global sales team to help The Spencer target corporate business."

With 166 "insanely stylish" guest rooms and 10 well-appointed meeting rooms accommodating up to 155, The Spencer Hotel is the newest conference, meeting and event hotel in Dublin. Situated in the heart of IFSC overlooking the River Liffey, it provides the most current meetings technology, amenities, and extras for groups and events. This includes a world-class events team, iPod dock-in stations, iPhone chargers and Nespresso coffee machines in all bedrooms. The Spencer Hotel is easily accessible by all public transport routes, with Luas/Tram, Train and Bus stops within meters. Dublin Airport is only a 10-minute drive through the Port Tunnel, and the Hotel provides shuttle to and from the airport for a minimal fee. Guests can also enjoy EAST Restaurant, the Spencer Cocktail Bar and The Pantry Restaurant.

"The Spencer offers something unexpected and appealing for business and leisure travelers," said Alexis Dobbelaere, senior vice president of global sales, Europe for Pegasus Solutions. "The hotel's sales team has taken the right measures to reach the leisure audience with a striking website and connectivity to online channels. For a business audience, they have tapped into Pegasus' preferred relationships with the travel management companies, and our corporate account and agency management team that will ensure the hotel is found and booked by top corporate bookers."
