Dublin City Council has granted planning permission to the GAA to build a 225 bedroom hotel near Croke Park.
The GAA applied in May for permission to build the hotel on the site at Collier's Kitchen - an industrial estate off Jones' Road, near the main entrance to the Hogan Stand.
The hotel will include a bar and restaurant as well as parking facilities for 220 cars, but the council ruled that the development must not include a nightclub.
The GAA will have to make a separate application for a proposed footbridge between the hotel and Croke Park.
Residents who live near Croke Park received letters yesterday informing them of the City Council's decision.
They now have four weeks in which to lodge an appeal to An Bord Pleanála.
The Council said it had received around 200 objections to the plans. But in its decision, it said that the site at the moment was under-used, and that the area would benefit from economic investment.
