Set in the revamped Gasworks complex, Belfast's newest big-name hotel reveals a minimalist mantra reflecting its stylish Scandinavian origins. Glass panorama lifts spirit guests to their choice of two rooms: warm, contemporary Urban, with its dark woods and burnt ochres, and cool chic Nordic featuring ice tones and natty pin-stripe chairs. If money's no object, check into Suite 7 - NI's largest one-bedroom suite - and check out spectacular views along the River Lagan. Contemporary Italian cuisine served in Filini restaurant. Complimentary Wifi throughout.
