Ballymena hotels

The town of Ballymena is the ideal balance of bustling town and quiet rural getaway. While the hotels here offer a pleasant dose of peace and quiet, Ballymena is also located just a short drive from the big city excitement of Belfast, and the town has a vibrant shopping scene of its own for visitors to enjoy.

The range of accommodation available in Ballymena is broad. You’ll find the hotels here offer an eclectic mix of modern and traditional. As they’re largely located in the town centre, you will also be in the perfect location to enjoy a stroll along the River Braid and admire the town’s striking medley of Georgian architecture.

Treat yourself to a luxury hotel with a sauna, steam room and hot tub or find yourself in a hotel situated on the edge of ancient natural woodland.

Ballymena’s small but striking selection of hotels are all placed just a stone’s throw from the river, Ballymena’s shopping centres and a wide range of restaurants and cafes that will please everyone – from the ladies who lunch, to those seeking something more wholesome and hearty.
