With 16 locations across 12 European cities, our Covid-19 lockdown measures and restrictions vary across regions. Read our latest updates below.
Belgium
We seem to see some light at the end of the tunnel. The vaccination rollout is speeding up and the with an R-ratio of 0.89 in Belgium, it seems we are getting more and more control over this pandemic.
Borders are open for travel coming from EU and EU nationals. For international arrivals, only professional travel is allowed into the country with restrictions in place.
Travelers are required to complete the Passenger Locator Form, in the 48 hours before arrival in Belgium. Based on the outcome of the form, you get a text message saying if you need to quarantine or not. Are you travelling from the United Kingdom, South Africa, South America or India? You will need to quarantine. Get tested on day 7 of quarantine.
Please visit the Belgian official website for up-to-date Covid-19 information and travel guidelines.
Ireland
Ireland has been at Level 5, the highest level of Irish restrictions, since Christmas. However, on the back of falling case numbers and the continued vaccination roll-out, the country is ready for a phased reopening. All retail will reopen from 17 May. Hotels and leisure stays can recommence from 2 June and restaurants and pubs can open for outdoor dining from 7 June.
Irish borders remain open, however there are a number of short-term restrictions on international travel. All passengers arriving into Ireland are required to quarantine at home for 14 days, while a mandatory hotel quarantine is required for arrivals from 72 “category 2” countries. Vaccinated passengers are exempt from mandatory hotel quarantine.
In the meantime, our three PREMIER SUITES Dublin properties remain open for essential travel, regular business guests and relocations.

We understand many guests have been unable to travel and because of this, some may feel nervous when the time comes to pack that case, however, rest assured that our self-contained serviced apartments offer the perfect homely environment to reduce social interaction and feel truly safe and looked after whilst staying away from home.
From 17 May, when the UK opens up for leisure travel, we hope to see the hospitality industry grow from strength to strength and we here at PREMIER SUITES are more than ready to actively play our part in what we hope will be a fast and exciting resurgence.
