Absolutely stunning building in Belfast. 5 star hotel, restaurant & cocktail bar. Famous for it’s extensive cocktail menu. I would also advise anyone looking for a treat for that special someone to book in for it’s fantastic High Tea - be sure ask for a table in the Great Hall! Can be a little pricey, so maybe not for anyone on a budget, but I can assure you, you won’t regret it! A personal favourite! :)

Don’t think, just book! I love this place, especially for a special occasion! The Teppanyaki is great craic, where you can watch your food being flamed in front of you on the open grills. Plus cocktails are 3 for £10 which is hard to beat! Just a 5 minute walk from the apartment.

Various tours exploring this area of Belfast. The walking tours are excellent, as are the Black Taxi tours (Paddy Campbell’s Black Taxi tour always gets great reviews). You also visit it if you hop on the Belfast sightseeing bus. Steeped in history, and a great place to learn a bit more about Belfast’s history.

For any history fanatics out there, the Ulster Museum is around a 6 minute walk from the apartment, just beside Queen’s University and the Botanical Gardens. Save it for a rainy day when there’s not much to do outside…(in my opinion… ;))!
