The hotel at the crossroads; where history and tradition meet luxury and style. The Twelve is a place for passing time, not simply passing through. Nestled in the charming seaside village of Barna; yet just 12 minutes from the thrills of Galway city – and on the doorstep to Connemara, the design led Twelve Hotel is one of the best Galway hotel locations. Named after the rolling peaks that surround the stunning landscape, it’s the perfect place for accessing many of Galway’s top attractions or as a hideaway, surrounded by style and luxury, from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Twelve hotel is a multi award winning boutique hotel.
After a great night’s sleep, wake up to a cooked-to-order breakfast, then pop into Meltd next door and grab a velvety coffee and a "just out of the oven" pastry before setting off for Barna Pier, a five-minute stroll and take in that sea air. If you want something a little more strenous then venture a little further to Barna Woods or one of the many nearby beaches. If walking just isn't on the iteniary then that's okay too .. jump in the car and take a beautiful coastal drive through Connemara's National Park. If you've got your "sea legs" then book a boat trip and spend the day on the Aran Islands (which is just about as far West as you can go!) Or head in the opposite direction, East into Galway city, to explore Eyre Square, the Spanish Arch, the Latin Quarter and of course the iconic Quay Street.
Return for the best in local cooking – fresh and seasonal and choose from the award-winning Blackthorn Restaurant, where the food is litteraly cooked over fire, or mingle with the chatty locals in the bustling Pins Gastro Bar, where craft beers, great cocktails, farm eats and freshly shucked oysters await you.
