The same Twelve but a little different
The Twelve, It has always been about you. We have always wanted you to feel safe and now we want to take even more care of you. So, that has not changed.
What has changed is the world around us.
So, we have adapted to health and safety guidelines and made some changes and all without compromising on your comfort.
We’ve changed small details about your arrival to minimize physical contact with people and public surfaces, while providing a safe and welcoming experience.
All rooms and suites are super spring cleaned, sanitised and fogged with a lot of love before you arrive to The Twelve
We have increased the cleaning levels and we are adding extra sparkle to public or frequent contact spaces: Including Reception, The Lobby, Lifts, Entrance, Handrails, Bathrooms, Food & Beverage Areas and outdoor Seating Areas. We use a very special product to do this which is in keeping with our Green Hotel policy.

We’ve also taken away all unnecessary touchpoints. If it’s not needed; it’s gone.

All public spaces have hand sanitiser stations in place, BUT NOT JUST ANY HAND SANTISER. We have always worked closely with Micil, a boutique distillery based beside us who are famous for their poitin and gin. No stranger to the effects that Covid-19 has had on businesses around the country, the Micil family, who have been distilling poitín for over 170 years, were faced with the difficult decision to pause the production of their hand-crafted spirits for the first time since 1848. The action was taken as part of an effort to free up the distillery’s supply of alcohol and begin manufacturing antibacterial sanitiser to assist in the fight against Covid-19.
Although Micil Distillery do not have the production facilities of larger manufacturers, and are producing, bottling and labelling all their sanitiser by hand at the distillery in Salthill, they remain committed to keeping their reputation for quality in whatever they produce.
