What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Belfast City Hall is a five-minute walk away, and the historic food stalls of St George's Market are an easy stroll.
The rooms
Most studios come with fully equipped kitchenettes and dishwashers. Dedicated Sleepwell rooms omit windows to ensure total blackout rest.
The gym and studio
The 24-hour gym has Peloton bikes and assault runners, and a sunlit studio is laid with mats for yoga.
At the table
Winnie's Café serves fresh sandwiches and baked goods, and the curved bar in The Common pours local craft beers.
How it began
The hotel opened in 2023 on the former Lyndon Court site, launching as Northern Ireland's first low-carbon hometel.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
