"Sister to the Terence Conran–designed Fitzwilliam in Dublin, this Belfast outpost, it’s no shock, is very much in the same vein — a classic yet not exactly show-stopping city-center building whose stately exterior conceals a surprisingly sexy luxury boutique hotel. There’s scarcely a more central location in town than this one, right next to the Grand Opera House, and from here it’s hard to see Belfast as anything less than a proper cosmopolitan capital." - Tablet Hotels
