Belfast
Hospitality Industry
Welcome to LodgingGuide's hospitality industry listings for the Belfast, Northern Ireland area.
Following decades of Catholic versus Protestant unrest, Belfast has seen the light to undergo a tourism resurgence, with Victorian buildings in city center now hosting chic lodging, eateries, and pubs. Great Victoria Street’s Crown Liquor Saloon is among the city’s best known gin palaces, along with Kelly’s Cellars on Banks Street, Bittles Bar on Victoria Square, Hatfield House on Ormeau Road, and The Deer’s Head at North and Garfield streets. Bailey’s Historical Pub walking tours are as in demand as the liqueur not invented until 1974. Belfast churches are seemingly even more plentiful than bars. Oldest is the the circa 1737 Church of Ireland Knockbreda Parish Church on Church Road. The 1783 First Presbyterian Church on Rosemary Street hosts lunch concerts. Others are the 1816 Church of Ireland’s St. George’s with its Georgian portico, and the 1857 Presbyterian Sinclair Seamen’s Church with a pulpit shaped like a ship’s prow. Steam Trains Ireland operate rail tour adventures from Belfast throughout Ireland.
Attractions include Belfast City Hall on Donegall Square, Ulster Museum, and the Whowhatwherewhenwhy - W5, Ireland's first purpose-built interactive centre for adults and kids. Queen’s University offers exhibitions and a shop for gifts. Other shops are on High Street, Royal Avenue, and Donegall Place. St. George’s Market (Ireland’s oldest covered market) has nearly two dozen seafood stalls on Fridays. Junction One International Outlet Centre, 20 miles from Belfast City Centre, features more than 50 outlets including Next, Marks and Spencer, Nike, Adidas and Reebok, along with catering Starbucks and Rain City. Dining options range from Irish pub grub to Asian fare. Touring by boat, open-top bus or by bicycle showcases the city’s best. Some Belfast tours pass by the city’s wall murals in blue-collar areas where Catholics and Protestants have expressed themselves over time with themes of oppression, freedom, and Gaelic slogans such as "Tiocfaidh ar la" -- (Our Day Will Come).
