The Clarence

About

The Clarence Hotel, a four‑star boutique landmark on 6‑8 Wellington Quay in Dublin’s vibrant Temple Bar district, has been a beacon of modern luxury since its original opening in 1852. The building was transformed in the early 1990s by U2 icons Bono and The Edge, who revitalised the historic structure into the contemporary boutique hotel it is today, complete with a rooftop bar and a sleek, city‑centric design that honours its industrial heritage. The hotel is currently undergoing a major renovation, temporarily closing its doors to accommodate a fresh lease of 2023 and a comprehensive refurbishment aimed at preserving the castle‑like feel of the property while incorporating state‑of‑the‑art amenities. During this period, guests are invited to stay at The Clarence’s distinguished sister properties across Dublin – The Dean Dublin, The Leinster Hotel, The Mayson Hotel, and The Devlin Hotel – ensuring a seamless holiday experience within the bustling capital. With 51 rooms ranging from Standard to Deluxe and suites, the hotel offers a range of accommodations that blend heritage décor with contemporary comforts, including free Wi‑Fi, flat‑screen TVs, and complimentary breakfast. Dining options include the trendy Cleaver East restaurant and The Octagon bar, where guests can savour local Irish cuisine alongside crafted cocktails. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple seeking a romantic getaway, a family exploring Dublin, or a business guest looking for a stylish base, The Clarence delivers a memorable stay that marries historic charm with modern sophistication.
