Dublin has yet another chic nightclub to add to the roster. The much anticipated Vanilla in Donnybrook is attached to the designer Hampton Hotel, which has recently been voted as one of the top five trendiest hotels in Europe on the Trip Advisor website.
Spotted at the opening party were Dr. Patrick Treacy, Assets models Leah O’Reilly and Naomi Cullen, Victoria Mary Clarke and designer Catriona Hanly, who is moving full time to Paris next week.
The club, which is decked in a Vanilla theme, boasts two private VIP party rooms complete with private bars. The place is under the management of well known nightclub manager Tony Daly who ran the successful Club 92 at Leopardtown racecourse for many years.
