The golden Victorian age has still left its mark on the city, and some of the most historic buildings are now chic hotels in the heart of downtown. Towering skyscrapers have also been converted in luxury rooms, but beloved B&Bs still abound. Here is where to stay next time you visit Belfast.

The towering glass building that houses the Fitzwilliam Hotel in central Belfast offers unbeatable views of city hall and the lovely St. Anne’s Cathedral. Guests rave about the 5-star service, but the stylish digs speak for themselves. The award-winning hotel restaurant serves gorgeous meals from morning to night, including a delicious pre-theater tasting menu in the elegant dining room. After a nightcap in the glamorous hotel bar, slip under the duck down duvets and enjoy views of the city skyline from the contemporary rooms.
