Charlemont Arms Hotel

The Charlemont Arms Hotel’s story began centuries ago, originally as the home of Dr. Atkinson. The hotel’s crest carries the Latin motto, “Deo duce, ferro comitante”—“God My Guide, My Sword, My Companion”—a reflection of its enduring legacy and strength.

By the 1760s, it transformed into a hostelry known as “The Caulfield Arms.” In 1763, it was renamed when the fourth Viscount Caulfield became the Earl of Charlemont.

During the heyday of the Irish Volunteers, many towns boasted a Charlemont Arms. Today, this hotel stands as the sole surviving namesake in Ireland, a point of pride for its current proprietors.
