The Merchant Hotel

We had a voucher and made a last minute booking for the Merchant on Easter Tuesday. So glad we did! We booked on the Hotel website and got a deal that included breakfast & a bottle of prosecco. We had booked a Victorian room but were upgraded to the Larkin Suite on arrival. Such a treat, thanks to the lovely receptionist! The prosecco was on ice waiting for us, and the room was stunning and spotless. The suites are in a nice quiet part of the hotel. There was live jazz & blues music in Berts Bar in the evening which was great. Not usually our style, but was lovely to chill and listen to something different with a cocktail. Breakfast is not a buffet style like most hotels, but was lovely, in the Great Room. This hotel is just stunning and all staff we came across were superb. We hope to return soon!

The Merchant was an absolute treat to stay at. Our cab driver mentioned that much of Belfast has been built or redeveloped over the past 25 years, so there aren’t many historic hotel options—making The Merchant, the former home of the Ulster Bank, feel especially special. We booked a deluxe twin room, which was incredibly spacious and well-appointed. It featured a generous seating area, two queen beds, a separate dressing room, a closet with a vanity, and a large bathroom with both a soaking tub and a full shower. Our rate also included a great breakfast, with the option for room service, which was a nice touch. We happened to be there during a rainy stretch due to Storm Dave, so we really appreciated the hotel’s beautiful atrium/restaurant space and cozy bar—it made for a perfect place to relax for the evening. The staff was exceptional throughout our stay, and I honestly couldn't imagine staying anywhere else. This truly made our trip. One small note: part of the building is newer, and reception is located on the side entrance. It doesn’t match the grand façade you’ll see in photos (that entrance leads to the main restaurant and lounge), so don’t be alarmed if it feels like you’ve arrived at the wrong place at first.

Stunning hotel

Loved it nothing I didn’t like

Loved the Art Deco room, spacious and bed very comfortable!

Breakfast, it was mediocre, nothing to write home about, I was really expecting something much more !
