Hotels in Ennis

Between the banks of the River Fergus, medieval lanes twist past brightly painted storefronts where traditional Irish music flows from pubs with the casual brilliance of a local birthright. Clare Museum offers fascinating glimpses into regional history, while the 13th-century Ennis Friary stands as a magnificent ruin worth exploring. The town serves as an ideal base for day trips to the lunar-like Burren landscape or the dramatic Cliffs of Moher. Quin Abbey and Knappogue Castle provide atmospheric glimpses into Ireland's past. After exploring, settle into a pub where musicians gather spontaneously for sessions that make you forget what century you're in. The six-time winner of Ireland's Tidiest Town competition takes justifiable pride in its immaculate streets and warm hospitality.
