The Merchant is Belfast’s grandest hotel, set in a magnificent former bank in the lively Cathedral Quarter, its opulent Victorian architecture beautifully restored. It offers sumptuous rooms, a rooftop spa and gym, and celebrated bars and restaurants, including a spectacular dining hall beneath a great glass dome. Combining historic splendour, luxury and a superb central location amid the pubs and culture of the Cathedral Quarter, it is the most prestigious and characterful place to stay in the city and a destination in its own right for afternoon tea or cocktails.
