The Clarence Hotel located in Dublin`s Temple Bar district was originally built in 1852 and re-opened in 1996 after a 20 month refurbishment. Owned by 2 members of U2 - Bono and The Edge, this 5* luxury hotel is contemporary in style and places an emphasis on personal service. Many of the property`s original features, such as the wood panelling and stone floors, have been retained in the public areas, and all furnishings have been designed and crafted primarily by Irish artisans. Más Info.
