OWNERS WELCOME AN BORD PLEANALA DECISION
Dublin , 17th July 2008 - The owners of The Clarence Hotel have welcomed the decision by An Bord Pleanala to grant planning permission for the proposed development of the hotel.
The owners stated - “We are delighted that An Bord Pleanala has given us the green light for Norman Foster's design for The Clarence. It's great news for the team that has worked so hard on this project. And we believe it's great news for Dublin and for Temple Bar in particular, where we've been working for over 20 years and where a hotel has been trading on The Clarence site for 177 years."
While the granted planning application does envisage the closure of the hotel for re-development, such closure is many months into the future as there is a significant amount of detailed design and project management required.
In the meantime, the professional team at The Clarence will continue to operate the hotel as normal and is committed to the continued delivery of 5 star service.
We will keep you informed as our plans progress.
Thank you.
