Merchant Hotel

Top choice in Belfast


Belfast's most flamboyant hotel occupies the palatial former Ulster Bank head office. Rooms are individually decorated with a fabulous fusion of contemporary styling and old-fashioned elegance; those in the original Victorian building have opulent floor-length silk curtains while newer rooms have an art deco–inspired theme. Facilities include a luxurious spa and an eight-person rooftop hot tub.

Its Great Room restaurant is magnificent.
