The IHF Dublin Branch were delighted to host their annual Summer Party, one of the biggest social events for Dublin's hospitality industry, at the Radisson BLU Hotel & Dublin Royal Convention Centre last week. Over 350 hoteliers, suppliers and industry partners gathered for a night to remember with five-star hospitality, incredible entertainment and a delicious meal.

This year’s event saw the debut of Irish Hotels’ Got Talent with amazing performances from talented Dublin hotel team members:

• Rafael Ribeiro from Aloft Dublin City Hotel who serenaded the audience with a stellar performance of Elvis hits
• Reha Erdem Keskin from Aloft Dublin City Hotel who wowed the crowd with his Turkish folk music and dance demonstration
• Aoife Cronin from Maldron Hotel Newlands Cross the winner of Dalata's Got Talent 2023 captivated the room with her incredible voice
• Aaron Maguire & Keith Normoyle from the Academy Plaza Hotel a dynamic duo who delivered fantastic covers and even an original song!

Speaking on the night, IHF Dublin Branch Chair Jonas Treffers highlighted the incredible trajectory of the annual IHF Dublin Branch Summer Party. First hosted in 2014 by Conor O’Kane, former as IHF Dublin Branch Chair and General Manager at the Clayton Hotel Cardiff Lane, the event was attended by four hotel teams in its first year. Now, ten years later, the annual gathering has grown into a flagship event for the Dublin hospitality industry, welcoming over 40 businesses this year.

A range of fantastic prizes were presented to the best dressed in keeping with the event’s ‘celestial’ theme, and attendees also had the chance to win in the raffle with prizes generously sponsored by hotels and suppliers.

On the night funds were raised for Tourist SOS who provide a free, nationwide support service, dedicated to international visitors who experience a crime or other distressing incident.
