The Clarence Hotel 

Important to know

  • Address: 6-8 Wellington Quay, Temple Bar, Dublin 2, D02 HT44, Ireland
  • Getting here: Wellington Quay bus stop

The Clarence Hotel, also known as U2’s hotel, has a long history with the Irish band. Located in the heart of Dublin, along the banks of the River Liffey, this hotel is a city landmark.

Bono and The Edge, members of U2, purchased the hotel in 1992 and, after 30 years, sold it. During those years, it became a part of Dublin’s rock culture.

One of the most iconic moments was U2’s rooftop performance at the hotel for the “Top of the Pops” show in 2000, drawing fans and cementing the venue’s connection to the rock scene.

The hotel has undergone several renovations over the years but remains a meeting point for the band’s fans and music lovers.

Originally built in 1852, The Clarence is one of Dublin’s most historic and well-known hotels. Despite being sold, the hotel still preserves its legacy for music fans. It’s an excellent choice for those attending concerts at the Olympia Theatre, Vicar Street, or The Academy, all less than a 10-minute walk away.

Additionally, attractions like The Irish Rock ‘n’ Roll Museum and the Rory Gallagher Corner are nearby, further strengthening the hotel’s ties to the city’s music scene.


Rock Route in Dublin, Ireland

Dublin, Ireland, is famous for its rich musical history, having been the birthplace of bands and artists like U2, Kodaline, Sinead O’Connor, Thin Lizzy, and The Script. The city is an excellent destination for rock fans, with plenty of interesting places to visit that will make your trip even more musical.

For those who enjoy bars, Whelan’s and Bruxelles offer a great atmosphere. If you’re looking to catch a live show, be sure to check the schedule for 3Olympia Theatre, The Academy, and 3Arena, as these venues often host top international bands.

Vinyl lovers can head to Tower Records, a well-known store famous for its great selection of records.

A tour of the historic Windmill Lane Recording Studios to learn more about U2, and a visit to the beloved Phil Lynott statue from Thin Lizzy are musts on your musical itinerary.
