Instead, it will be getting a different new name
Based in College Green on Westmoreland Street, the hotel was to receive its name change based on the latter. However, the street itself was named after John Fane, the 10th Earl of Westmorland.
A Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, it has been pointed out that Fane was also a slavery defender - denouncing efforts to end the practice in 1799 in London's House of Lords.Part of the US Marriott Group and a member of the Irish-owned and managed MHL Hotel Collection, The Westin has since confirmed it will instead change its name to“College Green is one of the most historic yet contemporary and dynamic locations in Dublin where journeys converge at the heart of a bustling city.
“Having initially considered a renaming to The Westmoreland Hotel, we took on board the feedback from patrons and others, which alongside reflection on our environment and patron experience, informed our decision to opt for a new name. "We are very excited to adopt The College Green Hotel as our new brand and are grateful to those who shared their views. It feels right for us and for our patrons, both now and for the future.
"We will continue as The Westin Dublin for the coming months and look forward to becoming The College Green Hotel at the end of the year.”
