Scene
Historical lodging landmark reborn as 21st-century hotel
Whites of Wexford has a long history as a local lodging landmark stretching back over two hundred years to its early manifestation as a coaching inn in the late 18th century. In 2006 the hotel was extensively renovated to its present incarnation -- a large, sleek contemporary property with a bold and distinctive street-front facade and spacious modern interiors. A huge airy lobby welcomes a mixture of business guests and tourists, especially more senior travellers and families with kids. The fact that it’s also popular with locals really makes it feel that it's part of the Wexford town community.
