Victor Nedelea Of Townhouse On The Green

In this week’s edition, Victor Nedelea , general manager of Townhouse on the Green , talks to Hospitality Ireland about the building’s history and its current incarnation.

Townhouse on the Green is a new boutique hotel at 22 St Stephen’s Green, with elegant, contemporary and luxurious bedrooms over two floors.

Number 22 was originally built by Thomas Lighton in 1790. His prosperity is reflected in the quality of the house, from its solid granite steps and impressive Georgian door down to the detail of the Portland stone stairs, original wrought-iron balusters and curling mahogany handrails.

“Looking after people is my pleasure. I find joy in turning moments into memories and creating a warm and inviting atmosphere,” says Nedelea.
