The Revitalised Twelve Hotel – Stay in Style

Nestled in the heart of Barna, resides one of Galway's favourite getaways: The Twelve Hotel. Lying just outside of Galway City, on the fringe of the stunning Wild Atlantic Way, the boutique hotel prides itself on providing guests with a truly distinctive experience. There's now a new management team behind the stylish boutique hotel, who are incredibly eager to revitalise the space.

This team is in the process of revamping parts of the hotel, ushering in a breath of life into the space. Still, they continue to remain committed to maintaining their unique identity, and their unwavering dedication to providing the best guest experience.

The Twelve Bakery is the perfect spot for visitors to reset. Pop in to see their array of fabulous treats, goodies, and top it all off with a delicious coffee. With plenty of exciting things to come, this is a great space both for locals and guests.

If you fancy a self-care day, The Le Petit Spa is a rejuvenating oasis and a hidden gem. Totally encapsulating a boutique feeling within the hotel, the spa is the ultimate pampering experience. From facials to full body massages, this is the perfect way to spend some much-needed 'me time'. (Pro-tip: the spa is open to non-residents as well!)

The Twelve is also dog-friendly, providing the perfect opportunity to explore the beauty of Ireland's West Coast with your furry friend in tow. They offer a ''doggie bag'' at arrival, a pet menu for your four-legged companion; and a dog-minding service; at The Twelve, every guest, including those with four legs, will get the ultimate experience.

When it comes to dining, The Twelve presents two enticing options. Pins, the downstairs gastropub provides a laid-back yet vibrant atmosphere for casual dining. With new Head Chef, Richard Kitt at the helm, Pins is focused on elevating simple food using fresh seasonal produce sourced from local suppliers. Pins offers a relaxed yet lively atmosphere, with great pints and an impressive cocktail menu!

The Twelve is also home to West Restaurant, a fine dining outlet spearheaded by Head Chef Nathan Hindmarsh. The restaurant was listed on Ireland's top 101 great restaurants this year. Hindmarsh's meticulously crafted menu reflects the ever-changing seasons and celebrates the rich tapestry of flavours found in the West of Ireland. With an incredible number of awards across the board, an enticing menu and an extensive wine selection, a visit to this establishment is a culinary experience not to be missed when exploring Galway.

Fergal Guiney, Front of House and Sommelier for West, is known for his incredible hospitality and attention to detail, saying; ''I always said when I stop learning, I'll leave, and I'm still here." The whole team is incredibly reflective of this, and are invigorated to provide guests with the finest dining experience.

The ultimate culmination of tranquillity, hospitality, and luxury, The Twelve Hotel has everything you need for an unforgettable stay in the West of Ireland. To stay updated on all they have to offer check out their website here.
