The Irish Central website mentions the Ormond Hotel:

8. Ormond Hotel, Dublin

The hotel is located in Dublin on Ormond Quay on the River Liffey. The hotel, the setting for the “Sirens” episode, has been completely remodeled since Leopold Bloom stayed there in 1904. It was originally one building and not the five that occupy the site today. The hotel tries to keep Joyce’s legacy alive with a plaque commemorating the spot and a “Sirens Lounge.”
