This property couldn’t have been more beautiful, gracious, and historic. The food at the jazz club and main restaurant was fantastic . Very impressive that the main restaurant had a plant-based tasting menu which was delicious. Loved the jazz club atmosphere and jazz combo playing. The hotel staff was so kind and helpful. When we arrived from a long early flight and our room would not be available for several hours they allowed us to rest in the spa which made such a difference. The bedroom was spacious and beautifully decorated with all the necessary amenities. The Merchant was recommend strongly to us by a good friend and we certainly will be dojng the same for any other friends going to Belfast. It’s also very well appointed - an easy walk to the Titanic museum and many beautiful picturesque side streets around it with nice pubs. Thank you so much Merchant Hotel and wonderful staff. We will be back!
Absolutely loved my stay. It was my first time but won’t be the last. We had an Art Deco room and it was spectacular. Spacious and so comfortable. We used the roof top hot tub too which was a lovely treat. All of the staff were really friendly and helpful.
