It has entered the collective unconscious as a symbol of practical luxury. You only have to take a couple of pixie steps from your room or suite and you’re at the boutique hotel’s restaurant, bar or business centre. With its conference and seminar facilities, high-speed broadband and general attentive service, it ticks all the functional boxes. Also pleasing are the stylish rooms, which come with the attendant luxury amenities. That the hotel is walking distance from several key city attractions, including the Grand Opera House and Ulster Hall and Belfast City Hall, adds practicality to this stay.
