The Merchant Hotel Belfast is an intimate, sumptuous, 5 star hotel, situated in the historical Cathedral Quarter of Belfast’s city centre.
This magnificent Grade 1 listed property has been sensitively restored to its original splendour and is now regarded as one of the top hotels in Northern Ireland. The architectural grandeur of the hotel’s exterior and the opulence of the interior, demand an excellence of service and warmth of welcome that immediately sets our guests at their ease, with an ambience that embodies luxury and comfort around the clock.
The building, which was purpose built as the Head Quarters of The Ulster Bank, was completed in 1860. It is Italianate in style. Its stunning, classically styled interiors reflect the remarkable heritage of the building. Sculptures around the huge dome inside symbolise Science, Poetry, Sculpture and Music. It is below this dome that diners enjoy the exceptional Great Room Restaurant for daytime and evening à la carte dining, and traditional afternoon teas.
The Merchant Hotel prides itself on the calibre and variety of its excellent bars and club. From the elegance and opulence of The Bar, to the relaxed and comfortable Cloth Ear. From the glamour and sophistication of Ollie’s Club, to the retro chic of The Private Resident’s and Member’s Bar, The Merchant Hotel offers entertainment to suit your every mood.
