Description

The Merchant hotel is the only AA five Red Star hotel in Northern Ireland situated in the heart of Belfast city centre's historic Cathedral Quarter. 62 highly apointed rooms with a harmonious blend of Victorian grandeur and Art Deco inspired sleek modernity. Formerly the Head Quarters of the Ulster Bank which dates back to 1860, this part Grade A listed property was sensitively resorted to its original splendour and is quite unlike anything in Belfast with a multitude of exciting amenities. The Event Space at The Merchant hotel was built in 2010 offering a range of spaces, from our 16 person boardroom, ideal for smaller meetings or private dining; right through to our Rita Duffy suite, perfect for conferences, dinners for up to 200 people. We also have a beautifully landscaped Absolut Roof Garden, decorated seasonally with a striking and inventive theme. Our Roof Garden is unique to the city and is available all year for private events, catering for up to 70 guests.

The Jonathan Aiken Room and its counterpart the Brian Ballard Room are ideal for breakfast meetings, lunch and dinner parties, meetings, drinks receptions, or as a breakout room with the main conference plenary taking place in the Rita Duffy Suite.

Was one of the most amazing most opulant experiences of my life. I swear. Its up there as being a life changing experience. I felt amazing staying there. If you ever get a chance, you should go. Just for a night. The food was like nothing I've ever tasted before. The service from every staff member was just impeccable. I'm low key comparing everything to the merchant now. I went to the toilet when I got home, flushed the toilet n was like 'the flusher button on the toilet in the merchant was so much better'. I've got the post merchant blues for real!

Outstanding! Room was amazing and the general decor inside the hotel was fantastic. The food however was the best I have ever had in a hotel. Our waiter Davy/David was brilliant extremely attentive. I would definitely go back just for the food alone!

Great experience, amazing building. Had afternoon tea and service was good- loads of food, had to take some of it home. Definitely worth a trip

GOOGLE REVIEW

The Merchant Hotel was classical elegance at its best. Well worthy of its five star status. The price reflects the lofty standards that are laid on for the fortunate visitor. I could write a book about my experience at the merchant and would be hard pushed to present a negative comment. A marvelous stay that will be difficult to beat.
