The Clarence Hotel is a four-star 51-room hotel located at 6–8 Wellington Quay, Dublin, Ireland. It is in the Temple Bar neighbourhood, on the River Liffey. It first opened in 1852, and was bought by U2 lead singer Bono and lead guitarist The Edge together with their business partners in 1992, and opened after refurbishment in 1996.

The hotel was constructed on land that was originally reclaimed for the building of the Old Custom House around 1704.
