The Clarence is ideally located in the heart of Dublin's city centre and overlooks the River Liffey. Throughout its 140-year history, The Clarence has welcomed a diverse and colourful clientele ranging from clergy to musicians. Dating from 1852, the hotel was completely renovated in 1996. Many of the original features have been revived and combined with modern pieces, creating an elegant and refined ambience in traditional surroundings. Highly personalised service with absolute attention to detail and style give The Clarence the feel of a private home.
