Merchant Hotel, Grade A listed hotel in Cathedral Quarter, Belfast, Northern Ireland
The Merchant Hotel occupies a Victorian-era building with decorative stone facades, grand columns, and detailed architectural elements at the corner of Skipper Street.
Initially constructed as the Ulster Bank headquarters in the mid-nineteenth century, the building underwent transformation into a five-star hotel in 2006.
The Great Room Restaurant features a 400-kilogram chandelier with 2600 crystal pieces, designed by Marcus Notley and produced by Tyrone Crystal craftsmen.
The hotel provides two accommodation styles - Victorian Splendour and Art Deco Decadence - with rooms named after local writers and poets.
The establishment received international recognition by winning World's Best Hotel Bar in 2009 and World's Best Cocktail Bar at Tales of the Cocktail in 2010.
