Hotels in Belfast.
You can step back in time, but take post-modern glamour with you, in some of the beautifully-restored Victorian hotels in Belfast.
Malmaison (4*) is one of the best known of these hotels, renowned for its décor, bold sense of style, quirky fixtures and fittings. Its handy location next to the fashionable Cathedral Quarter means that you’ll find yourself within walking distance of some of the best bars, nightclubs and restaurants in Belfast.
Also nearby is The Merchant Hotel (5*), once home to the world’s most expensive cocktail. Their spa is one of the finest in Northern Ireland, a hidden haven of relaxation amidst the hustle and bustle. Indulge your senses with the sheer variety of amazing treatments available, from express pedicures to full days of pampering.
Elsewhere, Ten Square (4*) is another historic building reimagined as a modern luxury hotel that oozes elegance and character just steps from Belfast City Hall.
If the ultimate in classic, contemporary luxury, with everything you ever imagined right at your fingertips, is what you’re after, then seek out The Fitzwilliam (5*), The Grand Central (4*) or Hilton (4*) hotels. Each offers world-class standards of service and style with plenty of friendly local touches, plus jaw-dropping views. You’ll enjoy the same welcome and friendly staff you’ll find everywhere in Belfast and right across Northern Ireland.
As you’d expect, one of the city’s biggest draws also has a hotel to match. What was once the Harland & Wolff Headquarters and Drawing Offices is now the world's most authentic Titanic Hotel (4*). Of course, the bustling Titanic Quarter and world-famous Titanic Belfast visitor experience are right on its doorstep. In fact, they are its doorstep.
Small but bursting with character
Belfast is an intimate city that’s easy to get around. That intimacy lends itself to plentiful smaller, friendly places to stay with inspirational, memorable stories behind many of them.
Footballer George Best is one of Belfast’s favourite sons, and you could opt for a night or two in his childhood home at The George Best House. This is the tiny three-bedroomed house in east Belfast where he lived before going to play for Manchester United and changing the world of football forever.
Tara Lodge (4*) has long been a favourite of Belfast tourists. It’s got an unassuming presence within easy reach of Botanic Quarter and Queens University, and there’s so much to recommend; from long-serving, extra-friendly staff to free car parking and generous, comfortable rooms. For those who prefer something different to a big hotel experience, this is perfect.
B&Bs in Belfast
Belfast is blessed with plentiful bed and breakfasts and guesthouses. Maryville House (4*) describes itself as Belfast’s best-kept little secret, which is fair to say for a guest house with just five boutique-style bedrooms. But what it lacks in size, it makes up for in style.
The same can be said of Ravenhill Guesthouse (4*), boutique rooms set within a lovingly restored period home and within walking distance of the city centre as well as the bustling Ormeau Road.
Not forgetting our four-legged friends
If you can’t bear to be away from man’s best friend, there are accommodation options across Belfast for you, and for them. Malmaison (4*), Bullitt Hotel, Travelodge (3*) and Dream apartments (4*) are just a few of our pet friendly accommodation suggestions, although we recommend checking availability when booking, to make sure your furry friend won’t be disappointed.
These are just a few of the many, many places to stay in Belfast. There’s oodles more to choose from and be inspired by, from campsites to converted churches and beyond. You’ll find lots in the results below.
