TITANIC HOTEL BELFAST OPENS FOR BUSINESS

Posted in News on 14 September, 2017

Belfast has welcomed a new link to its famous ship with the opening of the new Titanic Hotel in the Northern Irish capital.

The city’s newest luxury hotel opened its doors this weekend following a £28 million restoration of the former Harland & Wolff drawing offices and headquarters. The 119-room hotel has been transformed with the help of a £5 million Heritage Lottery Fund grant secured by the Titanic Foundation.

During the restoration the telephone exchange, which received the first communication of Titanic hitting the iceberg, has been retained. Designers have tried to make the hotel as authentic as possible, with porters wearing period costumes on hand to welcome guests to the hotel.
