The Clayton Whites Hotel is a legend inextricably woven into the social, cultural and artistic history of Wexford. From as early as 1715, local historians believe that a lodging house called The Kings Arms, existed close to the present site of the hotel. It is well recorded that Whites was a militiamens lodging house in 1779, surviving the bloody insurrection against the English in 1798 when the Coffee House was mentioned in the diary of a survivor. This Hotel has implemented a full range of enhanced sanitisation procedures and new practices which have been rigorously reviewed by Bureau Veritas, a trusted, independent global leader in tested, inspections and certification.
Hotel had been accredited by Green Tourism, a certification program that provides a framework to achieve a sustainable business in the tourism industry.
