Step back in time at the Harrison, a Victorian-style boutique with a modern twist. Attention to detail is second to none, and carefully preserved architectural features sit alongside new Ulster carpets and decadent four-poster beds. Solo travellers can book a snug room for one. Fancy splashing out? Opt for the Bronte Suite, complete with a free-standing tub and bay windows overlooking leafy Malone Road.
2. The Fitzwilliam Hotel, for unparalleled luxury

For a five-star stay with food to match, book into the Fitzwilliam, which stands proudly beside the Grand Opera House. Headed up by Dean Butler, the award-winning restaurant serves fresh, seasonal food with a contemporary twist – try the Glenarm salmon served with crushed baby potatoes. The hotel also has a romantic, low-lit bar, ideal for scones in the afternoon and cocktails after dark.
3. Titanic Hotel Belfast, for history buffs

Shipping fans can get their fill of maritime history at the Titanic Visitor Centre, then head inside the former headquarters of shipbuilders Harland & Wolff, now home to the Titanic Hotel. Architectural feats and chic interiors await inside, along with 119 luxurious bedrooms designed in a nautical theme. Dine beneath high-vaulted ceilings, and look out for the Villeroy & Boch tiles at the bar – the same ones were used for the swimming pool and first-class bathrooms on the Titanic. For a unique place to stay in Belfast, this property can’t be beat.
4. Grand Central Hotel, for a prime location

Grand Central Hotel is an easy walk home after watching a live show at Ulster Hall. The 300 rooms are spread over three floors, and include elegant touches such as satin curtains, stand-alone baths and ESPA products. There’s a great choice of food on site as well – head to Seahorse Restaurant for a fancy pre-show dinner of local scallops and Irish chicken supreme.
