Dublin Docklands (
Irish : Ceantar Dugaí Átha Cliath) is an area of the city of
Dublin , Ireland, on both sides of the
River Liffey , roughly from
Talbot Memorial Bridge eastwards to the
3Arena . It mainly falls within the city’s
D01 and
D02 postal districts but includes some of the urban fringes of the
D04 district on its southernmost side.
In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the docklands area was regenerated as an extension of the business hub of Dublin’s International Financial Services Centre (IFSC). By 2008 the area had over 599 enterprises. While growth slowed considerably due to the post-2008 Irish economic downturn , since 2014, property values and development activity has made a recovery.

New infrastructure, built in the area in the 21st century, has included the
Samuel Beckett Bridge and the
LUAS Docklands extension.
Hotels in the Dublin Docklands area, on both sides of the river, include the Gibson Hotel (4 star) close to the
3Arena concert venue, the Spencer Hotel IFSC (4 star) and Hilton Garden Inn (3 star) which are both close to the

Bord Gáis Energy Theatre . Also on this side of the river are the Ferryman Hotel (2 star) above the Ferryman Pub.
