The Twelve, built on the site of a landmark predecessor ‘The Twelve Pins’ which was named after the famous Connemara mountain peaks and dated back to the 1800s is rated one of Ireland’s ‘sexiest’ hotels. That’s due in large part to sumptuous colour filled bedrooms, soft lighting and a nearby stretch of silver sand noted for beautiful sunsets over Galway bay.
