Emma Nolan: The Hoxton has misjudged Dubliners' anger over the proliferation of hotels and the loss of nightlife

"The hotel is at the centre of a row with beloved night club Yamamori Izakaya over noise complaints"

"When news broke last week that the newly opened Hoxton hotel in Dublin had sought an injunction against a neighbouring nightclub over late-night noise, it sparked outrage and indignation."

"Collective screams of "the neckkkk" could be heard echoing all over the capital. The hotel's social media accounts have been inundated and a protest has been planned."

The newly opened Hoxton hotel in Dublin sought an injunction against neighbouring nightclub Yamamori Izakaya over late-night noise. The injunction request occurred last week when news broke, prompting immediate public reaction. The nightclub is described as beloved by many locals. The move sparked outrage and indignation across the city. Collective screams of "the neckkkk" could be heard echoing all over the capital. The hotel's social media accounts were inundated with responses. Organised opposition mobilised quickly, and a protest has been planned in response to the injunction request and perceived targeting of the nightlife venue.
