ACCOMMODATION REVIEW
Originally built in 1852, The Clarence is one of Dublin's newest and finest hotels and is within walking distance of all the city's attractions. Located in Dublin's vibrant Temple Bar district - Dublin's answer to Soho in New York and the Left Bank in Paris, The Clarence is a symbol of the city's economic and cultural renaissance. The hotel, which opened in June 1996 following extensive refurbishment, is essentially the vision of Bono and The Edge from the rock band U2, who purchased the property in 1992. The Clarence has since developed in one of Europe's finest hotels.

Many original features have been retained in the ground floor public areas, where wood panels and stone floors dominate the interior but the upper floors have been totally reconstructed behind the hotel's original façade. Each of the bedrooms, none of which is alike, is decorated in rich colours and this theme is carried through in the drapes, carpets, leather chairs and upholstered headboards. Every item of furnishing has been custom designed and primarily crafted by Irish artisans, including the wrought-iron bedside lamps inset with hand-rolled stained glass.

During the refurbishment, an entire floor was added to the hotel's four original levels to allow construction of several suites and the spectacular duplex penthouse. In addition to two master bedroom suites, the penthouse features a living room, dining room, full kitchen and an upstairs loft complete with private bar, baby grand piano and outdoor hot tub on the rooftop terrace - all offering superb views of the River Liffey and beautiful Dublin skyline.
