    I also agree the visitor centre yoke in front of the castle is yuck.


    What about Limerick's best looking buildings? LOL?

    OK I am open to alternatives to the King Johns Castle building that will actually stand and not destroy the houses underneath.

    Any ideas?

    As for the ugliest building gotta go with Todds and all of cruises street

    A few weeks ago I posted here about what I perceived to be ugliness of the new Hilton on the Ennis Road. Looking at the new almost completed building behind the hotel, overlooking O'Callaghan's Strand, well, I think that building is even worse-looking than the hotel. It's dark and sombre with a proliferation of what looks like fire-escapes visible to the front.
    That, combined with the brown brick finish and the sand-coloured walls makes it a good contender for the title of, at least, the ugliest new building in Limerick IMHO.

    John.

    I really don't think the Hilton is as bad as you make it out to be... Though I also disagree with people when they say the clarion is ugly. So maybe my opinions are well in the minority.

    i'd agree with that. The Hilton is not bad at all and I do like the Clarion..one of the best examples of high rise in the country imo.

    Hilton mightn't be the taj mahal but it beats the old jurys by a mile
    same goes with the clarion, a high rise hotel or a cattle shed? take your pick :p

    Biggest problem with the clarion is it could have been river point :(

    the building seems to be occupied. the windows are repaired, on the top floor are courtains and a kitchen cabinet is visible... and i personally think it's not to bad...
