This hotel opened (briefly!) in March 2008, as a sister hotel to the significantly smaller and marginally older 1008408 Glashaus Hotel nearby. Both closed in January 2009, as the recession started to really bite. During this brief opening period, the hotel only held a residents bar licence - so while I was working in Tallaght at the time, it wasn't somewhere I missed out on getting to drink in before it shut.
The Glashaus reopened in 2014, but the Tallaght Cross only reopened in February 2020 - scant weeks before lockdown closed it again for months - operated by the owners of the nearby S3446 Plaza Hotel.
There are no signs of the hotel being 14 years old inside - the refit for reopening in 2020 was thorough and everything is holding up fine.
Its a nicely fitted out hotel, the food was good - but with a total of five taps, two of which were Guinness and one other of which was off - the bar offering is not one for the seasoned drinker. I suspect this is not their target audience to begin with.
