ACCOMMODATION
REVIEW
Part of the global Hilton network of luxury hotels, the recently
built Belfast Hilton Hotel is an impressive five star city centre
facility, situated adjacent to Waterfront Hall and overlooking the
River Lagan. The hotel, which boasts a contemporary design, offers
an elegant bar, a large restaurant serving mouthwatering cuisine
and a wide range of amenities for both the business and recreational
traveller.
The Belfast Hilton is located within the central
business and entertainment district of Belfast, while the main
shopping district is just a short walk away. Many of the guestrooms
offer excellent views of the River Lagan, while all are beautifully
proportioned, well furnished and offer the latest in modern facilities.
Guests can adjourn to the Cables Bar, which offers cocktails,
snacks and a variety of drinks in an informal environment or dine
in the superb Sonoma Restaurant, a contemporary Californian themed
dining room. The hotel also provides a fully equipped fitness
suite, steam room, solarium and fine indoor swimming pool.
The second largest city in Ireland after Dublin,
Belfast has much to offer the visitor. Built in the classical
renaissance style in 1906, Belfast City Hall is an impressive
structure, while the Ulster Hall, which plays host to a variety
of concerts throughout the year, is one of the oldest buildings
in Belfast and is well worth a view. Laid out in 1827 on land
that slopes down to the River Lagan are the impressive Botanic
Gardens, while the adjacent Ulster Museum is a veritable treasure
trove of contemporary art and jewelry, which was recovered by
divers from one of the Spanish Armada ships, wrecked off the Causeway
Coast in 1588.
