Benedicts

Belfast


On Bradbury Pl, Benedicts is a style-conscious hotel that attracts a party set. The rooms, complete with Egyptian cotton sheets and duck-feather bedding, are above a huge Gothic bar and restaurant (where you also have breakfast), with live music most nights, so don't expect peace and quiet until the wee hours.
